Title III in the Defense Production Act gives the U.S. federal government “wide latitude” when protecting the United States’ national security. Consequently, if he once again wins the White House, President Donald Trump, can, and should, ban China from purchasing American assets, retired Brig. Gen.

According to Spalding, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis can also use his authority to limit Chinese purchases.
