Trump Cancels Housing Bill Signing

President Trump cancelled a planned signing ceremony for a bipartisan housing affordability bill, escalating a standoff with lawmakers over his demand that Congress first pass the SAVE America Act, a measure that would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

Speaker Mike Johnson visited the White House on Thursday seeking to break the logjam, later describing the meeting as productive but offering no concrete timeline for when the housing legislation might advance.

The president has urged House Republicans to end a procedural blockade he says has derailed his broader legislative agenda.

The sudden cancellation leaves the fate of the housing bill uncertain.
