President Trump says he'll move to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes, part of a push to address housing affordability. Trump made the announcement on social media. He did not immediately provide details on what his efforts will entail, but he said he would ask Congress to codify the action. Wisconsin Republican Congressman Brian Stile, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, says he looks forward to seeing more details.
Brian Stile 1:44
Far too many people can't afford the homes that they could have a generation ago. As we have seen interest rates continue to stay high, mortgages are more difficult to get into. We know we have a significant supply problem. I look forward to seeing the president's speech that he's previewing in that message when he's in Davos about exactly what his plan is.
Amy Morris 2:04

They want to be sure that the revenue that comes from the country eventually goes back into Venezuela but also goes to support whatever costs the U.S. may have incurred.
Amy Morris 3:07
After briefing Senate lawmakers about the operation in Venezuela, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told reporters on Capitol Hill about the plan.
Pete Hegseth 3:16
The oil arrangement that we've made with PDVSA on their sanctioned oil, they can't move. Understand, they are not generating any revenue from their oil right now. They can't move it unless we allow it to move. because we have sanctions, because we're enforcing those sanctions. This is tremendous leverage. We are exercising it in a positive way.

Amy Morris 3:32
And White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett says President Trump will be meeting with those oil executives on Friday.
Unknown 3:38
