On social media like Reddit, there has been a lot of discussion about why the USA is asking Denmark specifically for eggs. Many commenters on Reddit think it doesn't add up that the USA first threatened to take control of Greenland and then asks for a favor to import more eggs from Denmark.

Of course, there are other factors such as transportation and quality control of food, etc., but here are the top 10 countries that the USA should ask for eggs from if you only look at the price:
