Blocks certain foreign governments from buying U.S. farms and agriculture businesses.
This bill would make it harder for specific foreign governments and their citizens to buy U.S. farms and agriculture businesses. It would add the Secretary of Agriculture to a key national security committee and require reviews of these transactions. For countries like China and Russia, these purchases would be blocked.
Today, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) reviews some foreign investments for national security, but the Secretary of Agriculture is not a member, and agricultural land purchases by foreign entities are not always explicitly reviewed or prohibited. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Agriculture would join CFIUS, and the committee would specifically review and could block foreign investments in U.S. agriculture businesses and purchases of U.S. farmland, especially from countries like China and Russia.
