Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced on July 8 that the United States will be moving to ban Chinese ownership of U.S. farmland over national security concerns.
During a press conference with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and other top officials, Rollins said the Trump administration will work with states and use executive actions to ban ownership of U.S. agriculture by Chinese and nationals of other adversaries.
During a call with reporters on July 7, Rollins said there was no way for her agency to take back farmland owned by the Chinese and other foreign buyers.
“USDA is not in the role to be able to do that,” she said.
The national security action plan released by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and obtained by The Epoch Times states: “Land owned by foreign nationals—particularly those from countries of concern … or other foreign adversaries—is a potential threat to national security and future economic prosperity. USDA will ensure transparency of foreign U.S. agricultural land ownership and pursue robust and overdue updates to data collection, reporting, and analysis.”
The USDA, according to the plan, will implement reforms such as creating an online filing system to require foreign entities to report their holdings and transactions in the U.S. agricultural marketplace.
China or any other country, should not be allowed to buy land in this country. It never should have started and must end………..NOW!
Anyone that disagrees with President Trump, try to buy land in china, and then tell us all your outcome.
Nobody owns land in this country, you are only renting it, i.e. taxes!
This is true! Try not paying the taxes on your property and see who owns it.
So you all think it’s ok for china to pay taxes on land here ?
NO!!!!!!!!! It’s not ok for China to buy land here…….period!
