Eggspansionist bEGGars can’t be choosers

The MuskTrump administration isn’t just menacing Denmark in an attempt to get it to hand over Greenland. It’s also asking Denmark to pretty please send it eggs.
Thanks to commentariati The Temporary Name for the alert.
The United States has reached out to Denmark and other European nations asking if they can export eggs as Americans face surging egg prices, the Nordic country’s egg association said on Friday.
The request from the U.S. Department of Agriculture coincides with a raft of new U.S. tariffs on countries, including in Europe, and the threat of more. President Donald Trump has also threatened economic sanctions unless Denmark hands over control of Greenland to the United States.
U.S. wholesale egg prices are shattering records as an accelerating outbreak of bird flu in laying hens slashes supplies. Trump promised to lower egg prices on his first day in office but prices increased 59% on a year-on-year basis in February, the first full month of his administration.
Once they stopped laughing and making the international gesture for jerking off they essentially said “Nah.”
The Danish Egg Association said they would look into it but that there is no surplus of eggs in Europe.
I imagine the urge to stick a shrug emoji on the reply was fierce. Meanwhile, Turkey started shipping eggs to the U.S. in February.
Turkey said in February it had started exporting around 15,000 tons of eggs to the United States.
That’s right. TURKEY EGGS.
