US Egg Prices Plummet 61% Under Trump Administration Amid Broader Economic Shifts
Egg prices in the United States have dropped sharply since President Donald TRUMP returned to office, declining 61% from March peaks of $8 per dozen to $2.52, according to USDA data. The trend contrasts with broader macroeconomic pressures and geopolitical tensions dominating the first half of 2025.
While tariff negotiations and trade deals have captured policy attention, the dramatic price correction in a staple grocery item has resonated with consumers. The WHITE House has quietly addressed what became an unexpected political flashpoint—Trump himself previously urged Americans to stop fixating on egg costs before implementing measures that contributed to the decline.
