Summary

Finland has declined a U.S. request to export eggs amid a severe American shortage caused by bird flu.

The Finnish Poultry Association cited the lack of prior trade agreements and complex regulatory hurdles. Even if exports were possible, Finland’s limited egg production would not significantly impact the U.S. crisis.

Other European nations, including Sweden and Denmark, also face difficulties meeting U.S. demand, while Europe grapples with its own egg shortages.

The U.S. has turned to countries like Turkey and the Netherlands for supplies as bird flu remains a global issue.

I accept Finland's terms. Now that I'm a Finnish citizen, I would like to move to the country proper.

First you have to learn proper Finnish swearing. For that I suggest "My summer car" on steam. As proof you'll have to get all achievements.

Vain Windowssa perkele

Peska perkele vittu.

I'll book my flight.

Perkele, kun vituttaa tämä helvetin krapula, mutta jumalauta, pitäähän sitä silti saatanan kauniina kesäpäivänä mennä pihalle perseilemään ja hitto soikoon, nauttia elämästä—vaikka päässä jyskyttää kuin paholaisen pikkuserkku vetäisi siellä Lordia rumpusoololla.

...And just like that, Finland now shares a border with Russia on both sides of the globe. I'm sure the Finns are great friends with Russia, so Russia has no reason to worry that the vast military arsenal of the former USA is theirs now.

Also, does this mean the president of the former USA will be punished for his crimes? I'm not familiar with Finnish law, but it has to be better than ours.

This was my hope, too!

The US doesn't technically have a land border with russia, but they're only seperated by the narrow Bering strait

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, that's why I just said a border. True, it's 51 miles of water, but it not like that's a hard thing to cross over.

I for one welcome our Finnish overlords.
