Today, the USPS receives no direct government or taxpayer funding. Instead, it relies on revenue from the sales of stamps and other services it provides. Despite attempts to adapt to a digital world, the USPS faced financial difficulties, posting losses of $6.5 billion in fiscal 2023 and $8 billion in fiscal 2024, leading to a request for $14 billion in government assistance. Pres. Donald Trump has expressed interest in selling the Postal Service to a private company, but in 2025 Postmaster General David Steiner said he did not support such a move.
