GET ME REWRITE: First Felon Donald Trump fiddles and makes tone-deaf request to Denmark for egg shipments

 

Headline:  Independent, 3/14/2025

Rachel Clun reports:

The US has asked Denmark to export eggs to help tackle America’s ongoing shortage, caused by avian flu. 

More than 30 million laying hens have been culled this year due to outbreaks across the US, causing prices to nearly double in the year to January and soar beyond $8 (£6.18) a dozen by late February. 

But the timing of the request is awkward for the US, with Denmark among the countries feeling the sharp end of Donald Trump’s tariff wars and the president sparking outrage in the country over his demands to acquire Danish territory Greenland.

Fresh eggs?  Retiring Guy doesn't think these cartons will work.
