US egg shortage won't be solved by Finland
yle.fi
"The amount we could export would not solve their egg shortage," says the head of the Finnish Poultry Association.

Summary

Finland has declined a U.S. request to export eggs amid a severe American shortage caused by bird flu.

The Finnish Poultry Association cited the lack of prior trade agreements and complex regulatory hurdles. Even if exports were possible, Finland’s limited egg production would not significantly impact the U.S. crisis.

Other European nations, including Sweden and Denmark, also face difficulties meeting U.S. demand, while Europe grapples with its own egg shortages.

The U.S. has turned to countries like Turkey and the Netherlands for supplies as bird flu remains a global issue.

    Seems strange to give eggs to a country who talks of just taking over countries left and right.

    Maybe rotten eggs would be more suitable.

        This particular US government can’t be negotiated with. Just like with Russia, its always a mistake to even enter into conversation with them or to let their diplomats land at the airport. All that can be done is to not talk to them for the next 45 months.

          As an American, I can’t disagree. The best outcome is just to get groped against your will for 20 min like Macron.

          I want him delivered hogtied, with an apple in his mouth. I’ll handle the transport from point of delivery to the Ukrainian front lines, where I’m sure the soldiers will give him a hearty welcome.
