Trump orders an evaluation of the Postal Service following his criticism of Amazon
(Worthy News) – President Donald Trump on Thursday issued an executive order to set up a task force to study the United States Postal Service and recommend reforms.
That development may represent an escalation in Trump’s attacks on Amazon for its dealings with the service, analysts said. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside regular office hours.
The task force will evaluate the operations and finances of the USPS, the order said. That includes examining the postal service’s role in competitive markets, the state of its business model, workforce, operations, costs and pricing. The task force was ordered to look at the decline in mail volume and how that affects the USPS’ self-financing and the agency’s monopoly over letter delivery and mailboxes.
