The U.S. Postal Service released its quarterly earnings report Friday, and it wasn't good news. The service lost $1.3 billion in the second quarter this year.
The report blamed marketplace trends and government restrictions for the Postal Service's financial losses and said shipping and packages was a place of growth.
That contradicts statements earlier this year and last year from President Donald Trump blaming online marketplaces — specifically Amazon.com — for much of the Postal Service's losses.
Trump ordered a review of the Postal Service in April to identify changes that could make the service's business model sustainable.
