A bipartisan housing reform bill aimed at slightly boosting the construction of new homes was poised for completion on Wednesday morning. It had successfully passed both chambers of Congress with veto-proof majorities.
However, the anticipated signing ceremony took an unexpected turn. President Donald Trump, who met with reporters after a challenging lunch with Senate Republicans at the Capitol, reversed his decision at the last minute. He refused to accept the deal despite its potential benefits, causing a delay in finalizing the legislation.
The bill’s passage has been a significant focus in efforts to address housing shortages by promoting construction. Its sudden halt highlights ongoing political tensions.
