唐纳德·特朗普总统正准备解散美国邮政局的领导层,并将这家独立的邮政机构纳入他的政府,这可能会让这家拥有 250 年历史的邮政服务提供商和数万亿美元的电子商务交易陷入混乱。
据六位知情人士透露,特朗普预计将于本周发布行政命令,解雇邮政局董事会成员,并将该机构置于商务部和部长霍华德·卢特尼克的控制之下,由于担心遭到报复,这些人士不愿透露姓名。
其中三人告诉《华盛顿邮报》,董事会计划对抗特朗普的命令。在周四的紧急会议上,董事会聘请了外部律师,并指示如果总统罢免董事会成员或试图改变该机构的独立地位,将起诉白宫。邮政专家表示,特朗普下令商务部负责邮政局可能会违反联邦法律。
President Donald Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration, potentially throwing the 250-year-old mail provider and trillions of dollars of e-commerce transactions into turmoil.
Trump is expected to issue an executive order as soon as this week to fire the members of the Postal Service’s governing board and place the agency under the control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick, according to six people familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals.
The board is planning to fight Trump’s order, three of those people told The Washington Post. In an emergency meeting Thursday, the board retained outside counsel and gave instructions to sue the White House if the president were to remove members of the board or attempt to alter the agency’s independent status. Trump’s order to place the Commerce Department in charge of the Postal Service would probably violate federal law, according to postal experts.
