President Trump is exploring the possibility of merging the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) with the Department of Commerce to enhance White House influence over its operations. He stated that while the USPS has faced significant financial losses, it could potentially operate more effectively under this new structure. There are concerns that such a merger might pave the way for privatization, which could negatively impact service accessibility, especially in rural areas. A House resolution has been introduced to maintain USPS’s independence, reflecting bipartisan support against privatization efforts.
