Subsidized postal rates to the US from China will end. The Trump administration's Peter Navarro worked out some sort of compromise, else we would have withdrawn from the ages-old agreement completely.

I think it is ridiculous that I have to spend as much money to send a letter to my wife’s family in Canada as to someone in Somalia.

“...The United States and other countries’ concerns have been addressed by allowing the Postal Service to self-declare its rates beginning in July 2020, while operators from other countries will transition to self-declared rates at phased levels over the next six years. ...”
**********************************************************
The unjustified American subsidized mail delivery of Chinese packages can now be STOPPED COMPLETELY in July 2020. It appears that this compromise (between “immediately” and “never”) was the best we could get.

This is yet another accomplishment that Trump has accomplished with ZERO help from Congress. MAGA

If a commercial item is mailed out the country, a Chinese shipper pays NO POSTAGE!

It’s so crazy that shippers from India and Vietnam are transshipping through China to take advantage of free postage.

That how you see items sold on ebay for 99 cents and free shipping.

I used to be concerned that the postal service was going broke. Now my only concern is the government will not allow it to go broke.

I recently mailed a small light package to my Granddaughter. It was just under $10.00. How in the world can Amazon sell me items which are under $10.00 with free next day or second day shipping?
