Donald Trump has “success”: As the main reason for imposing customs on Canada, Mexico and China The American president gave “the fight against drugs”, mainly a feentanyl. According to his words, they were to be produced in China, and then delivered to Mexico and Canada, from where they were to go to USA. Although it is difficult to indicate that one thing results from the other, the fact is that Fentanyl smuggling across the border clearly fell. In February, Fentanyl was confiscated only 63 times, when in February 2024 there were 95 such incidents, in 2023 and 2022 after more than a hundred. What's more, the least fentanyl has been taken over for three years.
New problem at the border: Although it may sound strangely, despite the better situation with drugs across the American border, egg smuggling increased. And that's much.

Due to There were over 20 million chickens on bird flu, and therefore fewer eggs appeared on the market. Less eggs mean higher prices for those that are on sale, which raises prices significantly.

However, due to the not very large surpluses in Europe and the approaching Easterother countries are reluctant to share wrestling.
