Egg emergency in the US: Trump administration asks Europe for exports Following outbreaks of bird flu, eggs in the US are not only scarce, but also extremely expensive. According to reports, the United States has now asked European countries for more egg exports. Danish and Swedish media have received corresponding requests from industry associations in Denmark and Sweden, respectively.

Danish industry representative Jørgen Nyberg Larsen told the trade magazine "AgriWatch" that the US had inquired about how much they could supply, and had also done so in Finland, the Netherlands, and Sweden. The managing director of the Swedish egg supplier Kronägg, Markus Lindström, confirmed in the newspaper "Göteborgs-Posten" that he had also been asked about eggs by American authorities – while dampening hopes for American egg consumers: Exports to the US are unlikely, Lindström told the newspaper.

"Perhaps Ukraine could give the US what they need most right now in exchange for security guarantees: EGGS," says one X user. "Oh look, who has the eggs now? Not the Americans," reads one tweet.
