President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Friday related to improving home-ownership opportunities for Americans by reducing regulatory burdens and increasing access to mortgage loans.
“Every American seeking to buy a home should have access to a mortgage from a reliable lender, at a rate commensurate with his or her creditworthiness,” Trump wrote in an order titled “Promoting Access to Mortgage Credit.”
