Contributing sentiments towards policy:

34% : The USPS is an autonomous federal agency with its own governing board, making severing the contract legally challenging, but Trump is expected to test the boundaries of executive power on a range of issues, from trade to federal spending.
22% : The move, which could be unveiled in the early days of Trump's administration that begins on January 20, is in line with Trump's campaign promises to roll back President Joe Biden's efforts to decarbonize U.S. transportation to fight climate change - an agenda Trump has said is unnecessary and potentially damaging to the economy.
17% : Reuters has previously reported that Trump is planning to kill a $7,500 consumer tax credit for electric-vehicle purchases, and plans roll back U.S. President Joe Biden's stricter fuel-efficiency standards.
