Trump considers taking mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he was giving “serious consideration” to bringing government-sponsored mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public.

In a Truth Social post, Trump said he would speak with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Federal Housing Finance Director William Pulte about doing so.

“Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are doing very well, throwing off a lot of CASH, and the time would seem to be right. Stay tuned!” he wrote.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been under federal control since the 2008 financial crisis, and attempts to release them have been unsuccessful, The Wall Street Journal reported. 

Skeptics have warned that privatizing both could drive away buyers of mortgage-backed securities and lead to higher mortgage rates if not done carefully, the news report said.

The Trump administration has considered issuing an executive order on housing that could include directing departments to study the privatization of Fannie and Freddie, the Journal reported.
