Trump appears to be pushing forward with a plan to publicly list shares of government-backed mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which have paid the Treasury more than $300 billion

President Donald Trump said that he’s giving “very serious consideration to bringing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public” after more than a decade of government control.

President Trump says he'll decide soon whether to take Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public — a move that was vocally sought by Trump ally Bill Ackman.
