USA asks Denmark for help in the egg crisis | Sweden Herald

Aren't the US and EU standards on how to produce and sell eggs so incompatible that it's illegal to import eggs from the EU into the US?
American eggs are required by regulations to be washed. This includes wholesale.
European egg producers are not going to invest in washing machines for a temporary market.
America needs to either accept a breach of their own regulations and wash the eggs themselves, or offer a price that makes it worthwhile for the European producers to follow American regulations.Overalt, with potential tariffs and additional cost for transport and washing, it seems like a bad solution. It would probably be easier for US to produce more eggs themselves.

Trump better not find out that some americans are unwilling to suffer for him.

This is classic America. I don't have evidence for this but I have to assume that a large part of why America is having a egg crisis and other nations aren't is because of the absolutely horrendous and unsanitary conditions of our factory farms. Rather than look around the world and see that better living conditions contribute to a higher quality product, better lives for the animals, and lowered risk of massive disease outbreaks (which could become a human pandemic by the way); we'd rather ship in perishable goods from countries who have already figured that out. Our insane thirst for quarterly earnings reports prevents us from even considering something that would be a long term sustainable solution because it would be ever so slightly more expensive up front

American regulations require eggs to be washed, which destroys their natural barrier against germs.

They should meet with a US delegation to negotiate, and give them one single egg.

Sure, have our eggs. There's a 700% export tariffs on eggs at the moment tho...
They should take the moral high ground and refrain from adding tariffs.
On the other hand, the correct capitalist move is to raise the price when demand outstrips supply. $30 a dozen sounds fair for highly sought-after imported, organic, artisanal, delicately encapsulated Danish hen ovum. /s

California would probably agree to being part of Denmark as well. Let's do this!

Only if California joins the EU, too.

America's unstoppable thirst for short-term profit is why they currently have a corporate-backed fascist in office that is threatening to invade US's (supposed) allies to pillage their resources and economies.
Whether they do or not, the US as we have known it is in its death throes. They have surrendered nearly all of their soft power and made themselves a trade pariah. Entire industries are going to crumble as megacorps swoop in like vultures to devour the carcasses as the walls of their economy close in and the whole building collapses. It is in everyone's best interest to move their interests and money as far away from the US as possible.
