Reports suggest that President-elect Donald Trump may pursue a complete overhaul of the United States Postal Service (USPS) in his second term.
According to Axios, three anonymous sources claimed that President-elect Trump had a discussion with his nominee for Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, about what reforming the USPS would look like. The President-elect allegedly said that the federal government should not subsidize the USPS any longer due to frequent recurring losses.
President-elect Trump also “convened a group of transition officials to ask for their views on privatizing the agency” in early December, according to the same report.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), the chairwoman of the House of Representative’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Oversight Committee, said on X that “this is what happens when government-run entities are bloated, mismanaged, and unaccountable,” in reference to the USPS.
