Political Responsibility Amidst Price Hikes

DESCRIPTION

This clip discusses the alarming rise in egg prices in the U.S., attributing a significant 15% increase to a nationwide bird flu outbreak affecting production. North America Business Correspondent Ritika Gupta reports from a New York City supermarket, showcasing empty shelves and the shock from consumers facing prices nearing $12 per dozen. With inflation now at 3%, this economic strain raises political questions, particularly for U.S. President Donald Trump, who previously vowed to reduce grocery prices.
