January 18, 2023

Mar-a-Lago, FL – President Donald J. Trump released a new policy video today highlighting China’s intrusive actions to own America’s infrastructure and vital industries. Under President Trump’s bold plan, we will enact new and aggressive regulations to prevent America from falling under Chinese control. The United States will also pressure the Chinese to sell off any current holdings that threaten the country’s national and economic security.

 

 

“To protect our country, we need to enact aggressive new restrictions on Chinese ownership of any vital infrastructure in the United States, including energy, technology, telecommunications, farmland, natural resources, medical supplies, and other strategic national assets,” President Trump said. “When I'm president, I will ensure that America's future remains firmly in American hands just as I did when I was president before.”

China is buying up our country. While corrupt Democrats and RINO-type politicians in Washington have been spending trillions of dollars on the Green New Deal nonsense, foolish foreign wars, and providing lavish benefits to illegal aliens from all over the planet, China has been spending trillions of dollars to take over the crown jewels of the United States economy. And they are doing that. China is buying up our technology. They're buying up food supplies. They're buying up our farmland. They're buying up our minerals and natural resources. They're buying up our ports and shipping terminals. And with the help of corrupt influence peddlers like the Biden Crime Family, China is even trying to buy up the pillars of the U.S. energy industry. Because frankly, Biden and the group don't care about real energy. They only care about nonsense energy, energy that doesn't work, and it never will. While some are focused on China's purchases near power plants and military bases, the fact is we should be very concerned about all Chinese Communist activity in the United States. As I've long said, economic security is national security. China does not allow American companies to take over their critical infrastructure. And America should not allow China to take over our critical infrastructure. I didn't allow it when I was president, and I won't allow it when we become president again. To protect our country, we need to enact aggressive new restrictions on Chinese ownership of any vital infrastructure in the United States, including energy, technology, telecommunications, farmland, natural resources, medical supplies, and other strategic national assets. We should stop all future Chinese purchases in these essential industries, and we should begin the process of forcing the Chinese to sell any current holdings that put our national security at risk. If we don't do this, the United States will be owned by China which would make them very happy. When I'm president, I will ensure that America's future remains firmly in American hands just as I did when I was president before. It'll happen again, and our country will be stronger than ever. Thank you.
