- Costco customers are waiting in long lines and panic-buying eggs because of Trump’s new tariffs on imported goods. That’s on top of an already short supply of eggs because of an outbreak of avian flu.
The current egg situation in America is anything but over easy. Amid the Trump administration’s announcement about tariffs on the U.S.’s three largest trading partners, customers have flocked to grocery stores and large retailers to scoop up necessities like eggs before the import duties hatch on Tuesday and drive up prices. (On Monday, though, Trump promptly delayed tariffs on Mexico by a month.)
