The move would end agency’s 250-year independence, possibly jeopardizing operations and ending its impartiality

Donald Trump is reportedly considering disbanding the leadership of the US Postal Service (USPS) and folding it into his administration in a move that would end the 250-year-old agency’s independence and potentially threaten the mail delivery system’s impartiality.

The Washington Post reported that an executive order was being prepared to fire the service’s governing board and place it under the authority of the new commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick.
