00:01Portugal has joined a list of European countries in suspending most postal

00:05services to the US amid widespread uncertainty over the imposition of new

00:10import tariffs. The country's National Postal Service said it would be

00:15temporarily suspending services of goods to the US in mail products and

00:20International Express parcels. The decision follows US President Donald

00:25Trump's move to end the duty free entry of shipments valued at $800 or

00:30less. The White House said the decision aimed to combat illegal or abusive

00:36practices such as the shipment of illicit drugs into the States. Postal

00:42services in Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Italy to the US were suspended over the

00:47weekend with France, Austria and the United Kingdom following suit. The move is

00:52expected to have a significant impact on small and medium-sized European

00:56companies exporting lower value goods to the States. It comes after the US and the

01:02European Union reached an agreement on trade last month, the details on which

01:07have yet to be finalized.
