Trump Eyes Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac Privatization, Sending Stocks Up

The government is thinking about selling off Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two big companies that help people get home loans.

This news made their stock prices go up.

The government took control of these companies during a financial crisis.

Now, some people want to sell them to private investors.

A big investor thinks they have a lot of money now and are doing well.

However, some people worry about how it might affect the housing market and making sure things are done carefully to keep things stable.
