Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins said on March 21 that the Trump administration is now importing millions of eggs from South Korea and Turkey and that other nations will likely contribute in the ensuing weeks.

“Right now, we’ve got Turkey and South Korea importing eggs. Just yesterday, I talked to a couple of other countries that will soon begin importing. We haven’t signed that deal yet, so I don’t want to say who it is,” Rollins told reporters at the White House on Friday.
