Trump nodded toward a possible move to privatize the Postal Service at a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.
Asked about the agency, Trump said privatization was “not the worst idea I’ve ever heard,” adding that “we’re looking” at it.
“There is talk about that. It’s an idea that a lot of people have liked for a long time,” he said.
Privatizing the Postal Service would affect hundreds of thousands of jobs and risk upending a system that, founded in 1775, is older than the U.S. itself.
