The Universal Postal Union (UPU) today identified 25 countries that are suspending postal services to the United States (US), due to, as it stated, uncertainty over tariffs imposed by that country's President Donald Trump.
"Postal operators in 25 member countries have already announced the suspension of their postal services to the US, citing uncertainties related in particular to transit services," the UPU, a United Nations (UN) agency, said in a statement.
The Trump administration has decided to end the tariff exemption that previously applied to packages costing less than $800, which would take effect on Friday, August 29th.
Several postal services in Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, India and Australia reacted to this decision.
"These suspensions will remain in effect until further information is received on the implementation of the measures announced by the US authorities," the UPU added.
