The average price of a dozen eggs in the U.S. has decreased by $1.85 since the Trump administration announced its plan to address the issue about a week-and-a-half ago. This reduction follows an 18% increase in egg prices since Donald Trump returned to the White House, driven by an historic outbreak of bird flu. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins reported that egg prices have dropped by 11% and are now 7% lower than when Trump took office 50 days ago. The current average price stands at $6.08 per dozen, compared to $6.12 before Trump's inauguration. The Trump administration is attempting to rehire USDA bird flu officials it previously fired to manage the situation. Despite the recent decline, Agriculture Secretary Rollins cautioned that egg prices might 'inch back up' as the Easter season approaches, a period known for higher egg demand. This development reflects the administration's efforts to manage inflationary pressures on consumer goods, amidst claims that former President Joe Biden's policies contributed to the avian flu outbreak and subsequent egg price surge.
