Trump, housing bill and Bipartisan
Digest more
By Richard Cowan WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan affordable housing bill on Monday as Congress attempts to finish work on it by the end of this week and clear the way for President Donald Trump to sign the legislation into law.
President Donald Trump previously said he would work to ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes.
The Senate passed a bipartisan housing bill on Monday that aims to reduce federal regulations and expand local control, one of the most sweeping efforts in recent decades to increase supply and bring down prices.
A four-year ban on a U.S. digital dollar was buried inside a housing bill. The president never signed it. Under the Constitution, that turned out not to matter.
