Benson referred to Trump declaring a national housing emergency.

United States Treasury Secretary Bernett said on Monday that the Trump administration may declare a national housing emergency this fall. Bernett also revealed that government officials are exploring ways to standardize local building regulations and zoning ordinances, and reduce the closing costs of real estate transactions. He also pointed out that Trump may consider exempting tariffs on certain building materials. Bernett said, "We are working hard to study what measures can be taken, while we are not willing to intervene in the affairs of states, counties, and municipalities."
