News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now, I'm Amy Morris. 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 effort 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 of the plan.
Far too many people can't afford the homes that they could have a generation ago. 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.
Hear more from Brian Stile on the Bloomberg Balance of Power podcast. Shares of Blackstone fell more than four and a half percent. American Home shares about three percent lower and Lenar shares now about one and a half percent lower. Shares of major defense contractors also fell after President Trump posted on social media that he won't allow defense companies to issue dividends or buy back their own stock until they invest more in production and research. Trump says executive pay at defense companies should be capped at $5 million until they build what he calls... new and modern production plants. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a woman during a confrontation in Minneapolis, sparking anger over the presence of ICE agents in the city.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry called for ICE agents to leave the city immediately.
People are being hurt. Families are being ripped apart. Long-term Minneapolis residents that have contributed so greatly to our city, to our culture, to our economy are being terrorized and now somebody is dead.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is calling it an act of domestic terrorism.
ICE officers were out in an enforcement action. They got stuck in the snow because of the adverse weather that is in Minneapolis. They were attempting to push out their vehicle and a woman attacked them. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him.
Mayor Fry rejects claims that the ICE agent acted in self-defense. The United States says it has seized two sanctioned oil tankers linked to Venezuela in back-to-back actions in the North Atlantic and the Caribbean. Bloomberg's Mike Shepard says the U.S. wants to exert maximum control over the flow of oil in and out of Venezuela.
They want to be sure that the revenue that comes from the country eventually goes back into Venezuela. The money from the sales of Venezuelan oil would go to U.S. accounts first and then be funneled back into Venezuela.
After briefing Senate lawmakers about the operation in Venezuela, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth talked with reporters on Capitol Hill.
