The Agriculture Department predicts the current record prices for eggs could soar more than 40% in 2025, as the Trump administration offered the first new details Wednesday about its plan to battle bird flu and ease the cost of eggs.

U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the federal government will spend up to $1billion to combat bird flu, and hopefully lower the rising price of eggs.
