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

Seventeen Republican governors, led by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, have written 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. 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 highlighted the need for a national response and called for congressional action to codify state-level foreign ownership laws into federal law. The governors also emphasized the importance of protecting national security, farmers, and citizens from adversarial foreign governments.
