GENEVA (Reuters) - The U.N. body responsible for cooperation between countries' postal services held emergency talks on Tuesday to persuade the United States not to quit over President Donald Trump's demand to hike the fees Washington charges to deliver foreign mail.

The Trump administration has told the Universal Postal Union based in the Swiss capital Bern that it will quit unless the agency agrees to let countries charge more to deliver mail they receive from abroad. Last October Washington set a 12 month deadline.
