Donald Trump is ready to roll up his sleeves and get to work fixing the country.
He just revealed one of the biggest battles facing the country.
And Donald Trump was ready for a fight after he sent this tough message to China.
Donald Trump vows to stop China from gobbling up farmland
Chinese entities and citizens have been buying up farmland in the United States for years unimpeded.
Former President Donald Trump vowed to put an end to the Communist Chinese Party (CCP) from buying American farmland in a potential second term.
He told Breitbart News that his administration would protect farmland and key industries like telecommunications from being bought up by China.
“I’ve always done that, and I’ve also done it having to do with telecommunications as an example,” Trump explained. “People from other countries wanted to do our telecommunications and I wouldn’t allow it. We have to be careful. We’re going to be very firm on it.”
Trump warned that Vice President Kamala Harris wouldn’t be able to handle dealing with world leaders like Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.
“No, not even on the most basic conversations,” Trump said about Kamala dealing with world leaders. “She can’t answer a question from Oprah Winfrey.”
The former President said that America’s failed leadership is losing control of the country.
“We have to have control of our land,” Trump said. “We have to have control of our economy. We have to have control of our borders. We have to make sure we’re in charge of our own country. We’re losing that with these people, these unbelievable so-called leaders we have.”
Trump pointed out that China would never let a foreign country come into their country and buy it out.
“They’re allowing our country to be sold out from under us,” Trump explained. “We have to be very careful and we have to be very prudent. We can’t let this happen. Do you think China would let us go in and buy their land and do what they do? I don’t think so, okay. It won’t happen. So we have to be very careful.”
Trump takes a hard line against China
Trump wants to end the country’s reliance on China.
In this year’s Republican Party platform, one of the state goals is achieving “strategic independence from China.”
“Republicans will revoke China’s Most Favored Nation status, phase out imports of essential goods, and stop China from buying American Real Estate and Industries,” the Republican platform states.
China is using its economic power to build influence in the United States and potentially as cover for espionage operations.
The Fufeng Group, a Chinese company, bought 370 acres of farmland in North Dakota to build a milling plant that was 12 miles from Grand Forks Air Force Base – home to highly sensitive drone technology.
Defense Department officials and lawmakers raised concerns that the milling plant could be used as a base of operations for surveillance of the Air Force base.
Grand Forks City Council pulled the plant’s permits earlier this year.
China could be using seemingly benign business deals as part of its spying.
