Trump calls for Amazon to raise delivery fees

US President Donald Trump took to Twitter over the Christmas break to call for e-commerce companies such as Amazon to raise delivery prices and pay more to the United States Post Service (USPS).
“Why is the United States Post Office, which is losing many billions of dollars a year, while charging Amazon and others so little to deliver their packages, making Amazon richer and the Post Office dumber and poorer? Should be charging MUCH MORE!” Trump wrote in late December.
The US leader has previously used Twitter to slight Amazon, though according to news portal CNN, his latest assertion may be true. Unfortunately, CNN’s Lydia DePillas noted, while the USPS may not be being fully compensated for services rendered at present, this is a result of its own inner workings rather than unfair treatment by its major customer Amazon and others.
