President-elect Donald Trump expressed openness to the idea of privatizing the US Postal Service during a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. He stated that privatization is a concept that has garnered support over time and that his administration is considering it as the agency faces significant financial losses.
Trump's remarks followed a meeting between him, his advisers, and US Postmaster Louis DeJoy at Mar-a-Lago to address the Postal Service's financial challenges. During the meeting, DeJoy outlined the financial reforms implemented by the Postal Service to improve its financial situation.
