President Donald Trump said Friday he's "thinking about" merging the U.S. Postal Service with the Commerce Department, ending the agency’s independent status and putting it under the authority of his administration.
Trump's statement in the Oval Office, after Howard Lutnick was sworn in as his new Commerce secretary, came after two news reports published earlier.
Trump is preparing to issue an executive order to fire the postal service’s governing board, The Washington Post reported Thursday, citing six anonymous officials. Trump confirmed the merger plan on Friday, the Post reported.
"We want to have a post office that works well and doesn't lose massive amounts of money. And we're thinking about doing that," Trump said, according to USA TODAY.
