President Donald Trump stated on May 22, 2025, that he is 'giving very serious consideration' to bringing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public. This announcement was made in a post on Truth Social.
The President indicated he would consult with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte, among others, before making a decision. He noted that Fannie Mae is 'doing very well, throwing off a lot of CASH.'
This direct statement from the President signals a strong intent to pursue privatization, which has been a long-standing goal for some investors. Such a move would represent a fundamental shift for Fannie Mae, which has been under government conservatorship since 2008.
