Tuesday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) warned against China buying up farmland in the United States, which could lead to the adversarial Asian superpower gaining a foothold in U.S. food production. Certainly, China is one of those.”“China is a threat to our country,” Newhouse continued. I want to preclude the Communist Chinese government from purchasing agricultural assets in the United States of America.”The Washington State Republican lawmaker touted legislation, which he said was a “preemptive” measure to prevent China from gaining that foothold. “Well, just like you said, what does the country need?” he explained. The time to act is now and be preemptive so that we can prevent China from gaining a foothold in our important domestic food production, and that’s what my legislation will do.
