The U.S. Postal Service is facing an uncertain future after the resignation this week of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and the suggestion by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk of possibly privatizing the mail service.

Postal workers protested across the country on Sunday, voicing their opposition to President Trump's proposal to privatize the USPS.

Protesters gathered to voice their opposition to any efforts to privatize the postal service, rallying under the slogan, "Hands off the Postal Service."

US Postmaster General Louis DeJoy resigned after a fallout with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency. His exit follows job cuts and Trump's push to privatize USPS, sparking protests from postal workers.

DeJoy had said last month he planned to step down but hadn’t set a date. Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tulino will take on the role until the Postal Service Board of Governors names a permanent replacement.

President Donald Trump defended Elon Musk, who attended a second Cabinet meeting Monday at the White House, as cost-cutting measures throughout the government were discussed and often praised.

President Donald Trump's Cabinet meeting began with officials touting "waste, fraud and abuse" they claim to have identified at their various agencies.
