Governors Urge Biden and Congressional Leaders to Protect US Land from Foreign Adversaries

Seventeen Republican governors, led by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, have sent a letter to President Biden, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and congressional leaders, urging them to prevent foreign adversaries, particularly China, from buying U.S. land, including farmland. The governors expressed concern over the national security threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party's acquisition of American land and criticized the Biden administration for failing to address the issue. They called for congressional action and the use of all available tools to prevent further acquisition of American lands by adversarial foreign governments. The governors also highlighted the growing negative sentiment towards China among Americans, with a majority viewing China as an enemy and supporting a military buildup to deter a potential invasion of Taiwan.
