A 'nightmare scenario' if Trump pulls US out of global postal union, agency warns

Post by britwrit »

Another article on the UPU from the Guardian:
Donald Trump’s threat to pull the United States out of the global postal system could lead to a “nightmare scenario” of mail going undelivered, packages piling up and American stamps no longer being recognised abroad, the UN postal agency has warned.

The Universal Postal Union (UPU) has been holding an emergency meeting in Geneva to persuade Washington not to follow through on a threat to quit the agency, which sets rules to ensure mail gets delivered around the globe.
This is important - and incidentally, public information - because postal services across the world rely on international services to help make their profits.
