Celebrating American Greatness with American Motor Racing

Stopping Wall Street from Competing with Main Street Homebuyers

This Presidential Action, issued under the authority vested in the President, aims to stop large Wall Street institutional investors from outcompeting American families for single-family homes, citing high inflation and interest rates as barriers to the American dream of homeownership.

The order directs several federal agencies, including the Departments of the Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, and Veterans Affairs, to issue guidance preventing the facilitated purchase or disposal of single-family homes to large institutional investors, promoting sales instead to owner-occupants.

Adjusting Imports of Processed Critical Minerals and Their Derivative Products into the United States

This Presidential Proclamation announces a finding, based on a report from the Secretary of Commerce under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, that imports of Processed Critical Minerals and their Derivative Products (PCMDPs) threaten U.S. national security due to excessive foreign reliance, supply chain insecurity, and domestic production decline. The President concurs with the finding and directs the Secretary of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to jointly negotiate agreements with trading partners to adjust these imports, specifying that if satisfactory agreements are not reached within 180 days, alternative remedies like tariffs or minimum import prices may be considered.

This document provides a compilation of numerous individuals nominated by the President to various high-level federal positions, including roles within executive departments, independent agencies, ambassadorships, and U.S. Attorney offices.

The listings specify the nominee's name, their proposed role, the agency or location, and often denote whether the appointment is to fill an expired term, a vacancy, or a newly created position, detailing the necessary Senate confirmation required for these appointments to take effect.
