President Donald Trump cancelled the signing of a housing bill Wednesday until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act is passed.
Trump intended to sign the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act into law at the U.S. Capitol, but abruptly announced its cancellation in a Truth Social post. He demanded that the Senate must pass the “desperately needed” SAVE America Act, calling it a “national emergency.”
“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. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said.
Republican Florida Sen. Rick Scott invited Trump to attend a lunch Wednesday to discuss a wide range of issues, which would likely include the SAVE America Act.
