US Politics · Trump administration divided over housing affordability executive order

The Trump administration is at odds over an executive order targeting housing affordability, with Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte pushing for President Trump to sign it as soon as this week while other officials are pumping the brakes, according to people familiar with the talks. The divide comes less than two weeks before the midterm elections, as the White House grapples with cost-of-living concerns.
