Farmers struggle with bird flu outbreak causing egg prices to rise


New York Attorney General Letitia James and other local government officials are warning businesses against price gouging amid a national egg shortage caused by bird flu affecting poultry farms. Consumers are outraged by the dramatic increase in egg prices, with some feeling it is akin to robbery. The issue of rising egg prices also presents a potential political problem for former President Trump, who had promised to lower grocery prices during his term. The Trump Administration is blaming the Biden Administration for the increase in egg prices and shortages due to the mass killing of chickens directed by the USDA under Biden’s leadership. Trump’s pick to head the USDA, Brooke Collins, is working on addressing the egg shortage. The surge in egg prices comes as Trump has implemented tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China, which economists predict will lead to higher consumer goods prices and potentially stall economic recovery. Canada, Mexico, and China have vowed to retaliate against these tariffs. Senator Chris Van Hollen criticized the tariffs, stating that ultimately it will be the American people who will pay for the consequences. These developments highlight the complex interplay between economic policies, price gouging, and animal disease outbreaks in the food supply chain.
