Lawmakers in Indiana have implemented a ban on sister-city agreements with countries deemed “foreign adversaries,” of the United States, most notably with China.

This comes amid growing concerns over foreign powers’ influence on local U.S. governance and diplomacy. Other foreign adversaries included in the amendment, which added the ban, include Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and Venezuela.
