1 week agoSecretary Bessent says Trump may declare a national housing emergency
In a separate Labor Day interview with the Washington Examiner, Bessent said that President Trump may declare a national housing emergency this fall in response to soaring prices and limited supply. Bessent did not specify actions Trump may take beyond possibly declaring a national emergency, but he suggested that administration officials are directly studying ways to standardize local building and zoning codes and decrease closing costs.
