Trump Cancels Housing Bill Signing to Press Senate on SAVE America Voting Act
US President Donald Trump abruptly canceled the signing of a bipartisan housing bill aimed at increasing home construction and lowering costs, demanding Congress first pass the SAVE America Act, a voting reform bill requiring proof of citizenship and voter ID. The housing bill, supported by both parties, can become law without his signature after 10 days. Trump's move highlights tensions with Senate Republicans, who acknowledge insufficient support to pass the voting bill amid concerns over its impact on election access.
