GENEVA (AN) — The U.N. postal agency opened the third Extraordinary Congress in its nearly 145-year history with a vote to reject a demand by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration that it overhaul international delivery rates.
The 78-57 vote to reject 'Option B' with nine nations abstaining came on Tuesday at the start of the Universal Postal Union's three-day Congress. Others among the approximately 150 countries represented there did not participate in the secret ballot, according to UPU.
