WASHINGTON—Under pressure from President Donald Trump, a 145-year-old multilateral organization has agreed to change its international postal rates, giving a victory to American companies that fight against counterfeit products.
The Universal Postal Union (UPU), a U.N. agency that governs international postal rates, reached an agreement on Sept. 25 to overhaul its pricing policies, averting the possible exit of the United States. The 192 member nations voted to approve changes to rates on bulky letters and small parcels shipped internationally.
