This is great news, and while Trump is at it preventing China from buying up farmland all across American, lets stop Bill Gates too!

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins told Breitbart News exclusively on Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration is exploring ways for the federal government to stop China from purchasing American farmland.
Rollins, in her first non-trade publication exclusive print interview, said that “no doubt” people are concerned about this and rightly want American farmland to be owned by Americans, not foreigners, especially those loyal to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Rollins said that Trump deserves major credit for reorienting worldwide discussions and viewpoints about the threat of the CCP on the world stage, as he began exposing this in his first run for president back in 2016 and during his first administration and in the ensuing years since and now in the second administration has continued this focus.
“Let’s just take a step back and give a little bit more credit to President Trump,” Rollins said. “If we’re looking back in history nine or 10 years ago, when he first came down that escalator in New York City and started talking about China as a massive threat not just to our national security but to everything—to our food security, to everything—and I remember as I’m a longtime Reagan conservative, a leader on policy in Texas for all those years before I met President Trump, people weren’t really talking about China. Not many people, at least, in that way. President Trump brought an entirely new context to the conversation on what we need to do to put America First. In fact, China may not be the really good player that a lot of the free market believers had suggested they were, so to answer your question directly I think a wholesale across-the-board very deep look at where China’s influence is, especially in the last decade, which is very concerning, is extremely important.”
