Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-01) joined her colleagues in calling on the  Biden Administration to take action to address the Chinese Communist Party strategically buying U.S. farmland near military installations and other critical infrastructure. The letter, signed by 50 House Republicans, was sent to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

"At a time when the United States is engaged in great power competition with China, we must utilize every tool at our disposal to protect and defend the integrity of our military and national security, maintain military dominance, and maximize our global military readiness," said the lawmakers. "In light of these concerns to U.S. national security, we urge your departments to take effective action in addressing the potential national security risks that appear to arise from this transaction and what it means for the future of our national security."
