The White House has denied claims that President Donald Trump is planning to take over the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), despite reports suggesting a potential executive order to place the agency under the Commerce Department. The USPS board held an emergency meeting to prepare for a possible lawsuit if Trump proceeds. Trump has previously considered privatizing USPS, and critics argue that such a move could disrupt essential services like mail delivery, ballots, and medical supplies. A congresswoman has condemned the proposal as an attack on public access to critical services. Any attempt to shut down USPS would require congressional approval.
