By Xia Lin

NEW YORK, May 5 (Xinhua) -- Jobs for thousands of letter and package delivery workers at the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) and United Parcel Service (UPS) could be cut this year, with both looking to slash costs and streamline operations as the effects of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs and digital innovation ripple through the economy, the Los Angeles Times has reported.

Last month, the chief executive of UPS announced that the company will cut 20,000 jobs this year, or about 4 percent of its global workforce, and plans to close 73 distribution facilities by the end of June.
