President Donald Trump said he would move to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes, part of a push to address housing affordability ahead of this year’s midterm elections.

“People live in homes, not corporations,” Trump said in a social media post Wednesday announcing the effort, adding that he would expound on the plan at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later this month.

The news sent shares of homebuilders, including Toll Brothers Inc., Invitation Homes Inc., KB Home and PulteGroup Inc., down. Shares of Blackstone Inc. — a major investor in single-family homes in the US —fell by as much as 9.3%, though later pared some of those losses.

President Donald Trump asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio to lead the process to implement economic and political reforms in Venezuela and the US believes it is getting “full, complete and total” cooperation from the government in Caracas after the capture of Nicolas Maduro, White House senior adviser Stephen Miller said Monday.

Trump requested Rubio “under the president’s close guidance and direction, to be the lead on this process,” Miller told reporters at the White House. The secretary of State will lead a team that includes officials working on energy, financial, and military policy, he added.

A discussion with Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Defense Analyst Wayne Sanders about how the US arrest of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro is unlikely to alter US defense-spending for companies like Lockheed Martin and General Dynamics led Bloomberg Intelligence's Jan. 5 edition of the Washington Policy Pulse. Among the topics of discussion included the likelihood of extending enhanced Obamacare subsidies, the odds of a government shutdown and the timing for a Supreme Court decision on the legality of tariffs. We also discussed why odds of a crypto bill could decrease if Congress doesn't show much progress and how important it is for firms like Coinbase and Robinhood.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington D.C.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration
