  • Trump seeks to privatize the USPS after a $9.5 billion loss, citing financial struggles and $80 billion in liabilities. Privatization could reshape consumer shipping, focusing on profitable routes and leaving rural areas underserved.

The article discusses former President Donald Trump's interest in privatizing the United States Postal Service (USPS) due to its reported financial losses, which amounted to $9.5 billion in the last fiscal year. Trump has long criticized the USPS for its financial inefficiencies and has suggested that privatization could lead to better management and financial health. The USPS has been facing challenges including declining mail volumes, increased competition from private carriers, and significant costs related to retiree health benefits and pensions. Critics of privatization argue that it could lead to higher costs for consumers, reduced service in rural areas, and the loss of a public service that has been integral to American infrastructure. The debate over the future of the USPS continues as it struggles with modernization and financial sustainability.
