The Trump administration on Tuesday unveiled a National Farm Security Action Plan that would bar Chinese nationals and other designated foreign adversaries from buying U.S. farmland. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the seven-point initiative is intended to protect the nation’s food supply and reduce security risks posed by overseas ownership of land near military installations. Rollins told reporters the administration will combine legislation with an imminent executive order to halt new acquisitions and explore options to recover acreage already held by adversarial entities. "Today, for the first time, we are saying: no more," she said, adding that federal agencies will work with state lawmakers to enforce the ban. U.S. officials estimate Chinese investors control more than 265,000 acres of American farmland—holdings the Pentagon says could enable surveillance of critical defense sites. Under the plan, the USDA will tighten disclosure rules under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act and raise penalties for late or false filings to as much as 25 percent of a property’s market value. The proposal has backing from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who joined Rollins at the Washington briefing. The USDA also intends to terminate roughly 700 research contracts with nationals from countries of concern and drop more than 550 foreign entities from its programs. Federal action follows a wave of state laws restricting foreign land purchases and bipartisan bills pending in Congress. Rollins said she expects lawmakers to move "very soon" on complementary measures, arguing that “farm security is national security” for the United States.
