U.S. President Donald Trump could sign an executive order as soon as this week that will dissolve the Postal Board of Governors and allow him to take over the U.S. Postal Service, and a postal workers union isn't taking the news all too well.
Trump is planning to absorb the USPS into the White House and fire the postal board, The Washington Post reported Thursday, citing six people familiar with the plans. Such a move can potentially result in turmoil for trillions worth of e-commerce transactions, as per the report.
