According to CCTV news, the US is caught in a shortage of eggs. Ironically, the US government, while wielding the tariff stick in a high-profile manner and imposing tariffs on EU steel and aluminum products, is at the same time writing to European countries with a low profile and urgently requesting the purchase of eggs.
The responses from Denmark, France and Sweden were almost unanimous: there were no surplus eggs in Europe, so it was difficult to provide assistance. And in the Netherlands, farmers even said bluntly, unless the United States first lifted up to 20% of the tariffs on poultry products, otherwise they will not easily expand exports.
Following President Trump's announcement of a so-called "reciprocal tariff" increase, US Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has warned that the move is likely to lead to another short-term increase in US egg prices.
