President Trump is taking bold action to protect America’s farmland from China. His administration announced a new plan to ban Chinese ownership of U.S. agricultural land. This move puts American farmers and national security first.

The plan blocks China and other foreign adversaries from buying our farmland. It even tries to take back land already owned by Chinese companies. This stops China from gaining control over America’s food supply.

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins made it clear: “Farm security is national security.” She promised to use every tool available to protect our land. This includes new laws and executive orders.

Republican governors strongly back this plan. They call it a critical defense against Chinese Communist Party invasion. Leaders from Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, South Dakota, and Oklahoma all stand with President Trump.

Recent events prove why this ban is needed. Chinese agents were caught smuggling crop-killing fungus into America. This agroterrorism attack showed China’s plans to harm our farms.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that food security is as vital as energy or water security. Letting China own our farmland puts every American family at risk. We must protect our nation’s food sources.

While some states already limited foreign farmland ownership, federal action was missing. President Trump’s plan creates a nationwide shield. It closes dangerous loopholes that left us vulnerable.

This decisive move fulfills Trump’s promise to put America first. It safeguards our sovereignty and keeps our food system in American hands. Our farmers and families deserve nothing less.
