US EditionFirst Trump asked Denmark for Greenland, now the US president wants their eggs
- In response to egg shortages and elevated prices in the US, US authorities have approached Danish Eggs, Denmark's leading industry firm, to inquire about increasing egg exports.
- The US egg market has been significantly impacted by avian flu outbreaks and ensuing poultry culls, affecting over 127 million egg-laying birds since 2022 and driving the average wholesale price of eggs to over $8 a dozen in early March before falling to around $6.
- Jørgen Nyberg Larsen, the sector manager for Danish Eggs, confirmed that the US has asked how much they can deliver and that similar requests have been sent to colleagues in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Finland.
- Jørgen Nyberg Larsen noted potential difficulties in fulfilling the request due to differences in egg washing regulations, as washing eggs is required in the US but not allowed in the EU.
- Tensions between the US and Denmark are also present due to Donald Trump's past claims about acquiring Greenland, which the Danish and Greenland governments have repeatedly rejected, alongside a consumer boycott movement in Denmark against U.S. goods in response to tariff hikes.
