[FoxNews] President Donald Trump announced a last-minute cancellation of the signing of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act Wednesday, issuing an ultimatum to get the SAVE Act passed.
"Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
House lawmakers passed the Housing Act by a 358–32 vote Tuesday, reflecting widespread agreement on the need to help Americans facing housing affordability challenges. The bill seeks to expand the supply of homes and will lower costs while also giving individual buyers a leg up by banning large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes.
Earlier Wednesday morning, Trump called the act an "Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren centric housing bill," writing that it is "of minor importance compared to lower interest rates, and even FISA, pales in comparison to passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT."
