The US Postal Service (USPS) says it has temporarily stopped accepting parcels from mainland China and Hong Kong.

Letters will not be affected by the suspension, according to a statement on the company's website.

USPS said the suspension will be in place "until further notice" and did not offer a reason for the decision.

It comes after US President Donald Trump imposed an additional 10% tariff on all goods imported to the US from China.
