Foreign Investment Strategies

Foreign adversaries should not be allowed to buy up America’s farmland, land near our military bases, and critical infrastructure. Foreign investment can strengthen our economy — but not when it threatens our national security. I will protect American land, American infrastructure, and American supply chains.

  1. Protect American Farmland:
    • Ban adversarial foreign governments and entities from buying American farmland, especially in California’s Central Valley.
    • Require full disclosure of foreign farmland purchases so the American people know who owns our land.
    • Protect family farms and food security by keeping American farmland in American hands.
  2. Protect Land Near Military Bases:
    • Stop foreign adversaries from buying real estate near military bases and other sensitive facilities.
    • Review and block purchases that could threaten military readiness and national security.
    • Protect the communities that host our military installations.
  3. Protect Critical Infrastructure:
    • Block adversarial foreign ownership of energy grids, water systems, ports, telecommunications, and other critical infrastructure.
    • Review foreign investment in sensitive sectors before it is allowed to proceed.
    • Ensure that the systems Americans depend on every day are controlled by Americans.
  4. Strengthen CFIUS:
    • Strengthen the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) so it can stop dangerous foreign purchases.
    • Expand CFIUS authority to review land and infrastructure purchases, not just corporate deals.
    • Ensure national security reviews are thorough, timely, and enforced.
  5. Secure Supply Chains:
    • End dependence on adversarial nations for critical goods, medicines, and minerals.
    • Bring manufacturing and supply chains home to America, and support American producers.
    • Make sure America can stand on its own in a crisis.
  6. Transparency and Enforcement:
    • Require full transparency in foreign investment, including the true owners behind every purchase.
    • Enforce existing laws against illegal purchases and close loopholes that allow adversaries to hide ownership through shell companies.
    • Hold violators accountable, including forcing divestiture of improperly acquired land and assets.
