Egg Prices Soar Under Trump: Wholesale Costs Reach Record High of $4.95 per Dozen
Wholesale egg prices in US cities reached $4.95 per dozen last month, a more than 50% increase from this time last year under President Donald Trump's administration.
Egg prices in the US have surged, with a dozen eggs costing $4.95 at wholesale last month, a 50% increase from the same time last year. The reason for this 'egg-flation' is attributed to President Donald Trump's policies, which include restrictions on egg imports and subsidies for large-scale farms. These measures are expected to have a negative impact on smaller farmers and egg producers. As a result, prices are likely to continue rising, affecting consumers nationwide.
