Former President Donald Trump has cancelled a scheduled signing of a bipartisan bill aimed at addressing housing affordability in the United States. The legislation had garnered significant support in Congress, passing the House of Representatives on Tuesday with a vote of 358-32. Prior to that, the Senate approved the bill on Monday by a margin of 85-5, demonstrating broad agreement across party lines. The bill’s provisions were intended to ease housing costs and increase access to affordable homes. Reasons for Trump’s decision to halt the signing remain unclear, though it follows recent criticisms leveled against Speaker Mike Johnson. The move casts uncertainty over the future of the housing legislation and its potential impact on the market. White House officials have yet to comment on alternative paths forward for the bill.
