Aren't the US and EU standards on how to produce and sell eggs so incompatible that it's illegal to import eggs from the EU into the US?

American eggs are required by regulations to be washed. This includes wholesale.
European egg producers are not going to invest in washing machines for a temporary market. America needs to either accept a breach of their own regulations and wash the eggs themselves, or offer a price that makes it worthwhile for the European producers to follow American regulations.
Overall, with potential tariffs and additional cost for transport and washing, it seems like a bad solution. It would probably be easier for US to produce more eggs themselves.

What do you mean? They have to many nutrients and good stuff in them for the American stomach?

American regulations require eggs to be washed, which destroys their natural barrier against germs.

It's the US which washes them so I guess that could be done on import.

I've always heard that but our eggs in Denmark are all refrigerated in the stores

In Germany, they aren't refrigerated either. I think this is an EU wide thing.
