In my book, im trying to argue and other people are, too, that we need to find ways of collaborating with russia and defusing the tension. It is going to be hard. The problems in the relationship are mostly russias fault, but we have to get creative. Seeing President Trump and president clinton able to have a longer meeting, begin to talk about substance, seems to get some kind of an ok report going, that was all to the good.

With us this morning to talk about housing policy under a Trump Administration and particular we want to start off with one of the first actions of President Trump, the headline in bloom. What was this action and what does it mean . The fha had to really come in to the market when the Housing Market was going down. Many of the private lending pulled back as a result many order to stabilize the Housing Market fha came in. But those were very difficult times where home values were falling.
