Memorandum on International Postal Reimbursement and Mail Security

President Trump signed a memorandum on August 23, 2018, directing the modernization of how the United States reimburses international postal partners for delivered goods and enhancing security protocols for international mail. The memorandum instructed the State Department and Postal Service to review and adjust reimbursement models with foreign postal administrations. The confirmed effect was a directive to renegotiate postal payment arrangements, which affected rates and procedures for international mail delivery to and from the United States.
