US President Donald Trump has been focused on writing executive orders, threatening tariffs, and assigning tasks to Elon Musk. However, he may be overlooking an opportunity to fulfill his promise of lowering grocery prices on Day One.
One area that could benefit from a task force is the combat against bird flu. Given his success in battling COVID-19 during his campaign, Trump might consider establishing such a task force. Co-President Elon Musk could potentially lead it.
The potential for reduced egg prices under Trump’s leadership has been largely overlooked so far. Trump’s efforts to lower grocery bills may have focused more on tariffs and other economic measures rather than specific products like eggs. The bird flu initiative could be an opportunity for him to make good on his promise while also addressing a pressing health concern.
It remains to be seen whether Trump will take action on this front or leave it to Co-President Musk to lead the effort.
