  • U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he will make a decision in the near future about taking mortgage finance firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public, saying that he is giving "very serious consideration" to doing so.

In a recent CNBC interview, former President Donald Trump expressed that he is "seriously" considering taking government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public if he wins the 2024 presidential election. Trump, who previously attempted to privatize these mortgage giants during his presidency, believes that returning them to public ownership could be beneficial.

Trump's comments indicate a potential policy direction should he return to office, though specifics on how this would be achieved remain unclear.
