In a memo issued Thursday, the U.S. president directed the U.S. Postal Service to eliminate international postal discounts that let Chinese merchants inexpensively ship goods directly to U.S. consumers homes. Such a move could potentially raise costs for Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., while helping e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.com Inc., as well as FedEx Corp. and other international shipping companies.
