President Trump and Elon Musk suggest privatizing USPS, despite its recent profit, amid union opposition.

The US Postal Service (USPS) is facing potential privatization, a move suggested by President Trump and Elon Musk. Currently employing over 640,000 workers, USPS has experienced financial struggles, with losses totaling $87 billion from 2007 to 2020. However, it recently reported a $144 million profit. Unions oppose privatization, fearing it would harm rural residents and workers. The future of USPS may depend on the next postmaster general's decisions.
