Get ready to pay more for those packages from overseas.
I really dislike the tariffs that have been imposed and are being proposed. I think its bad policy to purposefully erect trade barriers that profoundly affect the global supply chain. That said, I think this is a good change. There is no logical reason that tax-payers should subsidize parcel delivery from China while domestic shippers have to pay their own freight. Just as erecting trade barriers is bad policy, so to is subsidizing foreign producers.
Its a shame that everything is so partisan, people won't criticize Trump's bad policies and praise the good ones.
The title of this thread is misleading. Trump announced his intent to withdraw the US from the UPU treaty, a process that will take a year and likely require senate approval. It is his opening position in a future negotiation. It is also not a bad idea, because the USPS is incurring a lot of unreimbursed costs.

Very misleading post. Also where is the proof that prices are going to rise?
