Over the last several years China has been snagging up American farmland left and right.
Per Rep. Ralph Norman “China owns and controls almost 192,000 acres of farmland” in the United States.
President Trump wants to put an end to this.
In his latest video released on Truth Social Trump warned “China is buying up our technology. They’re buying up food supplies. They’re buying up our farmland. They’re buying up our minerals and natural resources.”
Trump would continue “To protect our country, we need to enact aggressive new restrictions on Chinese ownership of any vital infrastructure in the United States, including energy, technology, telecommunications, farmland, natural resources, medical supplies, and other strategic national assets.”

Check out what the New York Post reported:
President Donald Trump says that if he retakes the White House, he will ban Chinese nationals from buying US farmland or owning telecommunications, energy, technology and medical supplies companies.
The 76-year-old Trump released the plan in a nearly 3-minute policy video shared with The Post as he seeks a second non-consecutive term in 2024.
“China is buying up our technology. They’re buying up food supplies. They’re buying up our farmland. They’re buying up our minerals and natural resources. They’re buying up our ports and shipping terminals. And with the help of corrupt influence-peddlers like the Biden crime family, China is even trying to buy up the pillars of the US energy industry,” the 45th president says.
“While some are focused on China’s purchases near power plants and military bases, the fact is we should be very concerned about all Chinese Communist activity in the United States. As I’ve long said, economic security is national security,” Trump continues.
China must be BANNED from having ANY ownership of our infrastructure, and President Trump is the ONLY person who can DESTROY China’s corrupt influence on our country. If we’re going to stop China, we MUST get President Trump BACK in the White House!!

The Daily Mail added these details:
Donald Trump vowed to crack down on Chinese-backed companies’ ability to buy ‘vital infrastructure’ in the United States in a new 2024 campaign video released on Wednesday.
The former president accused Beijing’s government and businesses that are run on its dollars of ‘spending trillions of dollars to take over the crown jewels of the United States economy.’
The cornerstone of his plan calls for a ban on Chinese nationals buying U.S. farmland, amid bipartisan concerns of Beijing using its dollars to carve out influence in economies across the world.
Florida Rep. Mike Waltz, a leading voice in Congress against Beijing’s growing soft power whose state has taken action to tackle the issue, told DailyMail.com on Wednesday that he was glad to see it raised on the 2024 campaign trail.
‘This issue requires immediate action from leaders from across the country as it’s a national security threat and I’m pleased President Trump has made it a campaign priority,’ Waltz told DailyMail.com.
