A bipartisan group of U.S. senators introduced a proposal on March 22 that would ban foreign adversaries, including China-controlled entities, from purchasing U.S. farmland.
Sens. Mike Braun (R-Ind.), John Tester (D-Mont.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) say their collective objective for the legislation is to address national security concerns—food security and China’s threat to the U.S. military and economic power—related to Chinese farmland ownership in the United States.
