Trump: I will not sign the housing bill before signing the election bill.

PANews reported on July 3 that, according to CNBC, US President Trump on Thursday refused to commit to signing a housing bill that had already received bipartisan support in Congress, instead demanding that Congress first pass the controversial Protecting American Voters Act. Trump called the election bill "the most important bill right now, the one that will affect us for years to come," which requires voters to show photo identification when voting and provide proof of citizenship during registration. Trump stated that the housing bill contains "many provisions put forward by Democrats," and said, "I'd rather not sign any bill until the Protecting American Voters Act is signed." The housing bill reportedly includes a four-year ban on the Federal Reserve's central bank digital currency.
