Summary

The Trump administration faces a dilemma as skyrocketing egg prices due to bird flu have forced Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to consider emergency imports.

With eggs now averaging $8 per dozen (up from $2.25 last fall), Trump may need to request imports from countries he's recently antagonized—particularly Canada, the largest U.S. egg importer, which Trump has threatened with tariffs and annexation.

Other potential egg suppliers (Netherlands, UK, China) have also faced Trump's recent hostility through tariffs or threats.

Meanwhile, Turkey plans to export 420 million eggs to the U.S., but this represents less than 5% of monthly U.S. production.

Trump Might Have to Ask Foes Like Trudeau for Emergency Eggs

Woah woah woah. Why the ever-loving fuck are they calling Trudeau a "foe"?! Are they just priming people to believe we're enemies now so that when the inevitable invasion comes they feel justified?!

Language matters and this is yet another disgusting betrayal.

Trudeau kinda is one of Trump's foes though, isn't he?

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 10 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The entire remaining free democratic world is Trump's foe now

[–] ennof@feddit.org 2 points 9 hours ago

More like Trump is their foe

[–] citizensongbird@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think I'm the only one who remembers when Trudeau and Trump and Nieto signed that NAFTA agreement and Trump screwed up by signing in the wrong place and Trudeau covered for him to save him embarrassment. A very classy move that went completely unnoticed by a classless thug.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

That’s what allies do.

…Ugh.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No. We're allies and good trading partners. If Trudeau is a "foe" then it's only because Trump is making unrealistic demands of submission or being crushed.

[–] ubergeek 2 points 4 hours ago

The US is no ally of Canada. The US is currently allied with Russia and North Korea.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 36 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Trump's foe. Canada is the US's ally.

Trump's America's foe.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Are we? Really doesn’t feel like we’re allies these days

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Trump’s voice is loud, bombastic, and belligerent, but rarely anchored in reality. There doesn’t seem to be any limits to how low he will go, but that doesn’t change realities like the worlds two largest trading partners, thousands of miles of unguarded border, a long history of cooperation and yes, friendship. Do what you have to to deal with Trumps BS and know that half the US will cheer you on and only hope you’ll give us the chance to make it up to you in four years

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump is much more a foe to the US than Trudeau ever would be

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Which is why being Trump's foe ain't a bad thing.

[–] queueBenSis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

but not of the US. and trump represent the US. many people consume news by inferring from headlines. and a headline like this one reads the canada is a foe of the us

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Common sense is trump's foe... anyone with a lick of it is basically a sworn enemy

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Trump might need to ask his Canadian neighbour Trudeau for emergency eggs.

[–] kokope11i@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Not we, the Daily Beast is one overly dramatic headline away from a tabloid.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Krasnov Trump's foe due to threatening Trudeau with invasion,

Canada is not US foe.
