Trump asks Europe for egg exports to U.S

The Trump administration has reached out to European countries to ask for egg exports. This request comes as North America faces a significant shortage of eggs caused by bird flu. Egg prices in the United States have surged due to this shortage. Recent data shows a sharp increase in prices compared to previous months. A representative from the egg products sector noted that the bird flu crisis is a global issue affecting many countries. While Europe may consider exporting eggs, strict hygiene regulations could complicate the process. However, the representative did not rule out the possibility of exporting to the U.S. Experts believe that Europe might not have a substantial surplus of eggs available for export. Selling eggs locally remains a priority, but some exports may happen based on conditions and pricing. In the U.S., the avian flu has led to the culling of 100 million chickens since the outbreak began. The current administration has held the previous administration accountable for this food shortage. Despite the challenges, officials state there is no threat to public health from the situation.
