The Trump government has filed a lawsuit against California and the fault of the egg regulations of the State for the rise in egg prices throughout the country.
What happened: The Trump administration has accused California of contributing to the national increase in egg prices. The administration has filed a lawsuit to challenge the egg production laws of California.
The lawsuit states: “The state of California has contributed to the historical rise in egg prices by imposing unnecessary bureaucracy on the production of eggs
Governor in California Gavin NewsomAttorney -General Rob BontaAnd other state officials are mentioned as defendants in the court case.
The lawsuit, which was tensioned on Friday, focuses on three laws in California: AB 1437, Proposition 2 and Proposition 12. The administration argues that these laws that regulate the production and quality of the eggs have led to a decrease in egg production, which increased the prices.
The lawsuit also disputes the minimum space requirements of the State for Farmers, introduced by Proposition 12 in 2018. The administration argues that these regulations fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government, in accordance with a federal law from 1970 that determines standards for eggs and egg products.

Why it matters: The rise in egg prices has been a recurring problem, with president Donald Trump attributing the problem to the handling of inflation by the BIDEN administration during the 2024 elections.
However, there was a significant decrease in egg prices with the prices that have fallen by 61% since January, as reported by FOX Business at the beginning of June. This praise, coincided with the dedication of the Trump government in February to invest $ 1 billion in combating bird flu epidemic and increasing the import of eggs.
In April, a clear capital study showed that more than 30% of Americans stopped buying eggs due to high prices. Analysts noted that weaker demand and fewer new bird flu cases helped to lower prices.
