“Today we are taking our American farmland back”

BREAKING: The Trump administration just announced a complete and total CRACKDOWN on Chinese Communist Party-linked ownership of FARMLAND nationwide.

This is EXISTENTIAL.

"Today, we are taking this purpose and our American farmland back. American agriculture is not just about feeding our families, but about protecting our nation and standing up to foreign adversaries who are buying our farmland, stealing our research, and creating dangerous vulnerabilities in the very systems that sustain us. Reshoring and nearshoring our food and agriculture supply chain is essential for our nation's security.

In coordination with the White House, the Departments of Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security, and Justice, as well as state governors, state agriculture commissioners, local, tribal, and territorial governments, today we announce the USDA's National Farm Security Action Plan. This plan includes seven key action items, and there's a lot of people here that I want you to hear from, so I'm not going to go one by one, but just very quickly, it's on our website; the press has gotten a preview of it, and we can ask some questions once we finish the main program.

But very quickly, and perhaps the most important, the first of the seven is securing and protecting American farmland ownership. Actively engaging at every level of government to take swift legislative and executive action to ban the purchase of American farmland by Chinese nationals and other foreign adversaries. Standing on the shoulders of great governors, three of whom are standing behind me, who have already been leading the way on this issue and at the federal government level, working to do everything within our ability, including presidential authorities, to claw back what has already been purchased by China and other foreign adversaries.

Additionally, working with the Treasury, the Secretary of the Treasury, along with our Defense Department, on memorandums to ensure that moving forward, there is a much more intentional look at who is buying what in this country and from where they are in the world."
