A businessman who donated to President Donald Trump was named as head of the U.S. Postal Service, which could face a significant restructuring as it faces pressure from the president to hike prices and billions in added debt.

Louis DeJoy’s selection as postmaster general of the United States was announced Wednesday by the service’s Board of Governors.
