UPU Adopts Comprehensive Set of Reforms
Today at the Third Extraordinary UPU Congress, member countries agreed by unanimous acclamation to adopt a comprehensive set of reforms based on a U.S. proposal. The agreement will transform an antiquated, discriminatory system into a modern and resilient one far more prepared to meet the new demands of e-commerce and the increasing challenges of preventing counterfeit goods and drugs such as fentanyl from moving through the international mail system. "Today’s outcome is also a huge victory for millions of American workers and businesses that President Trump tirelessly champions every day," Dr. Peter Navarro, Director of the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, told journalists.
