This needed to happen.
American families have been feeling the pinch at the grocery store — but now, there’s good news on the horizon.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union that egg prices are finally falling, and millions of Americans will soon see lower costs at the checkout line.
When President Trump returned to office, he inherited soaring grocery inflation. Egg prices alone had climbed a shocking 237% under the previous administration. In March, the price of eggs hit a painful high of $6.23 per dozen, straining family budgets across the country.
But that’s changing fast.
✅ “Wholesale egg prices have dropped by 58% in just the last six weeks,” Rollins explained. As wholesale costs come down, retail prices are expected to follow quickly. In many parts of the country, that drop is already visible.
President Trump has consistently highlighted the outrageous costs Americans were facing when he took office. Thanks to his decisive leadership, relief is now underway — and it’s only just beginning.
What Caused the High Egg Prices?
Earlier this year, severe bird flu outbreaks forced American farmers to cull millions of chickens, driving egg prices through the roof. Recognizing the urgent need for action, Secretary Rollins and President Trump rolled out a powerful five-point strategy to address the crisis head-on.
This included:
- Redirecting federal funds to strengthen bird flu defenses
- Boosting domestic egg production
- Importing millions of eggs from allies like Turkey and South Korea to stabilize supply
More Savings on the Way
Not all regions have seen the full benefits yet, but Rollins assured that price relief is on the way for everyone. As supply chains stabilize and stores adjust to lower wholesale costs, Americans can expect a noticeable difference at the grocery store.
With President Trump’s America First policies back in action, hardworking families are finally catching a break.
