The potential impact of a Trump takeover of USPS

Season 2025 Episode 52 | 7m 18s

President Trump reportedly plans to fire the board of the U.S. Postal Service and place the independent agency under the control of the Commerce Department, a move that could be the first step in privatizing the service. The White House denied that an executive order to make the change is in the works. Jacob Bogage of The Washington Post reported on the issue and discussed more with Geoff Bennett.
