U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has reported a significant increase in egg seizures, surpassing drug seizures like fentanyl, revealing failures in the Trump administration's efforts to manage consumer prices. In January and February 2025, there were 3,254 egg-related seizures compared to only 134 fentanyl seizures, indicating a troubling trend in rising consumer costs. While the administration touts lower wholesale prices, actual retail prices remain high, heavily impacting consumers as grocery stores maintain inflated prices to recover losses, undermining Trump's promises to reduce costs.
The egg seizures showcase the Trump administration's failure to act on rising consumer costs.
There were 3,254 seizures of eggs and egg-related products in January and February, more than double what was seen a year ago.
The illegal importation of eggs into the U.S. also showcases how Trump has failed to act on lowering consumer costs.
Consumer costs remain extraordinarily high, likely due to grocery stores deciding to keep prices up to regain losses in profits.
