Trump cuts hit U.S. post offices, mail deliveries: report

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.
