Blogger’s Note: North Korea issued a statement that they would have supported this “Internationalist” expression of solidarity – but as usual – their ideology of Juche has meant they are ahead of the curve! The DPRK have banned US post since 1953 (due to US aggression and war crimes) – but there has been discussion of reinstating the post to and from the US – just so the connection can be “cut again” and the DPRK brought into the fold. As matters stand, even the Western or capitalist left will still not recognise how North Korea has stood-up for the rights of workers since the year dot (quite literally in the Juche calendar). The irony is that Trump’s fascism is so corrosive that even “capitalist” South Korea has started to push-back against it! Japan, which is basically a colony of the US – never usually contradicts their pay-masters in Washington! ACW (28.8.2025)

(ECNS) — At least 25 countries have suspended package deliveries to the U.S., the Universal Postal Union (UPU) said on Tuesday, after Donald Trump removed an exemption on packages worth under $800 U.S. dollars.
The U.S. government’s move has sparked a flurry of announcements from postal services.
Russia on Tuesday announced the suspension of sending packages or mail containing goods to the U.S. in the wake of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration, but correspondence sending won’t be affected.
Bulgaria’s state postal service is set to suspend all types of shipment to the U.S. from Aug. 26, due to planned changes by the U.S. administration to its rules on customs clearance of imports valued less than 800 U.S. dollars.
Korea Post said it will halt sending air parcels and some express mail services to the U.S. starting Tuesday, while keeping premium services, operated via private couriers, available subject to customs duties.
Other countries including France, Britain, Germany, Italy, India, Australia, and Japan, also announced the suspension.
The U.S. media outlet NPR said eliminating de minimis shipments would hurt poorer Americans the most and — presaging the headaches that logistics companies are encountering this week — would be “an administrative nightmare,” citing a report released by the U.S. think tank Cato Institute.
