What happened

Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the Federal Housing Finance Agency to launch a pilot program. This initiative allows certain homeowners to cancel mortgage insurance premiums once they satisfy equity requirements based on their property's current market value. The order also targets lowering refinancing fees and interest rates on specific government-backed home loans.
