The United States is scrambling, quite literally, for eggs. With prices soaring due to a relentless bird flu outbreak, American officials have been reaching out to European nations, including Finland and Denmark, hoping to secure egg imports. But Finland has politely declined, citing a lack of market access agreements. Egg prices in the US have reportedly been climbing to staggering heights. The bird flu epidemic has devastated poultry farms, leading to supply shortages. President Donald Trump had promised to cut egg prices on his very first day back in office, but instead, the numbers tell a different story.

In February, the first full month of his new term, egg prices shot up by 59% year-over-year, according to a Reuters report.
