Investing.com -- President Donald Trump is contemplating a merger of the U.S. Postal Service with the U.S. Commerce Department. The information came to light on Friday, when the President mentioned his thoughts on the matter.

The Washington Post reported the previous day, Thursday, that Trump was in the process of preparing to dissolve the U.S. Postal Service's leadership. The intention is to absorb the independent mail agency into his administration via an executive order. This move would effectively transition the U.S. Postal Service from an independent entity to a part of the President's administration.

The proposed merger is part of a broader plan, as reported by the Washington Post. However, the specifics of the plan, including its timeline and potential impact, are yet to be revealed.
