US President Donald Trump and his trade war have become a topic of discussion worldwide. Along with China and Mexico, Canada has also been in their hit list from the beginning.
However, a shocking report has revealed that eggs are being smuggled more than drugs amidst the ongoing trade war in the US. Eggs are being smuggled from Canada.
Egg smuggling is happening on a large scale in the world’s most powerful country from Canada and it has increased at a time when the trade war between the US and Canada is at its peak.
After analyzing official data, it has been revealed that US Customs and Border Security (CBP) are seizing more eggs and other poultry products than drugs.
Presenting data in the report, it has been said that since October 2024, US Customs officials have confiscated 3,768 of eggs and poultry related products. During this time 352 drugs were seized.
According to the report, Donald Trump has expressed concern over illegal drug smuggling between the ongoing trade war with Canada and Mexico under his tariff policy.
At the same time, despite the ban on eggs, raw chicken and other poultry products in the US due to the possibility of disease, their smuggling is worrying.
Amidst the problem of bird flu or avian flu in the US, the US Department of Justice is investigating whether egg growers have raised prices by limiting supply. The investigation is currently in the initial stage. Which focuses on the potential value manipulation. At the beginning of the year, the price of eggs reached a record of $ 4.95 per dozen. In some cities, this price has been seen up to $ 10 (Rs 871.49).
