特朗普要求美国邮政总局取消国际邮政折扣
Trump asked USPS to cancel international postal discount
近日，特朗普将矛头对准了国际邮政体系，根据其签署的一份备忘录显示，他指示总局取消国际邮政折扣，阻止外国商品廉价涌入美国。
Trump recently pointed his finger at the international postal system. According to a memorandum signed by Trump, he instructed the General Administration to cancel international postal discounts and prevent the influx of cheap foreign goods into the United States.
据了解，特朗普还要求美国通过万国邮政联盟重新谈判国际邮政费用。他表示，借助折扣，中国商人可以廉价地将商品接运送到美国消费者的手中，根据备忘录，特朗普希望重新审查规则，以确保“美国发件人不会用自己的邮费去补贴外国供货商”。
It is understood that Trump also asked the United States through the Universal Postal Union to renegotiate the cost of international postal service. With discounts, he said, Chinese merchants could deliver goods to American consumers cheaply. According to the memo, Trump wanted to re-examine the rules to ensure that "American senders do not subsidize foreign suppliers with their own postage."
值得注意的是，万国邮政联盟是一个协调各国邮政政策的联合国机构，其投票系统是平等的，但它设定的运费却不是。联邦快递南希·斯帕克斯称，万国邮政联盟的税率结构基本上是一个“富人替穷人买单” 的系统，从贫国家发货到富国家时，消费者只需要支付较少的运费。比如从中国发到美国，要比从美国将同样的包裹发到中国便宜得多。
It is noteworthy that the UPU is a United Nations agency that coordinates postal policies among countries. Its voting system is equal, but it does not set freight rates. FedEx's Nancy Sparks says the UPU's tax structure is basically a "rich pay for the poor" system, with consumers paying less for shipping from poor to rich countries. For example, sending it from China to the United States is much cheaper than sending the same package to China from the United States.
对此，彭博社称，任何国际邮政费用的变化都可能影响到跨境。对于像联邦快递、这样的托运公司来说，如果他们的服务变得更具成本竞争力，那么更高的邮寄邮政费率会是个好消息。同时，提供国际航运业务的也可能受益。
Bloomberg said that any change in the cost of international postal service could affect cross-border. For shippers like FedEx, if their services become more cost-competitive, higher mail rates would be good news. At the same time, the provision of international shipping business may also benefit.
