Trump cancels signing of US housing bill until Save America Act is passed

US President Donald Trump on ⁠Wednesday cancelled ⁠a planned signing of ⁠bipartisan legislation aimed at speeding up the construction and availability of more affordable housing in an effort to pressure fellow Republicans to pass a long-stalled package of voting restrictions that has shown the limits of his power.“Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately ‌needed Save America Act, which I consider to be a National Emergency,” Trump said on social media, referring to a measure that failed in the Senate and which critics say is an effort to suppress voting in Democratic-leaning communities.The Save America Act, if passed, would mean voters would need to show proof of citizenship such as a passport when registering to vote, and photo identification to cast a ballot.
