Those interested in reading more about the issue of US withdrawal from the Universal Postal Union can find a news story on it here, and a more academic analysis of it here.
I think this is pretty concerning. For even individuals mailing packages overseas from/to the U.S. it's already very expensive. How is this going to affect our trade with other countries (aside from China)? It makes me think of other countries like Mexico that are already economically struggling in part because of trade agreements with the U.S. I also wonder what ripple effect this will have on immigration to the U.S.
