‘We’re going to protect it by saying, ‘You can’t come. You can’t do it. We don’t want you buying our land’,' the former president told NTD during a roundtable.

During a roundtable on the threat posed by communist China to American farmland, former President Donald Trump said that protecting the land was straightforward.

“We’re going to protect it by saying, ‘You can’t come. You can’t do it. We don’t want you buying our land. We don’t want you taking the land and basically taking it off the market,’” Trump said, when asked how he would shield critical infrastructure in the United States and Pennsylvania from Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence.
