Recent reports suggest that the Trump administration is contemplating significant changes to the oversight of the US Postal Service. The administration is reportedly considering the dismissal of members of the independent government board that currently oversees the Postal Service, a move that could potentially pave the way for privatization.
According to sources cited in publications such as The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal, President Donald Trump is said to be planning to disband the Postal Regulatory Commission and place the agency under the direct control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick. While the White House and Postal Service have not officially commented on these reports, a White House official has denied that Trump intends to sign such an order.
