U.S. legislators are raising alarms over foreign ownership of American assets, with a focus on energy and agriculture. Representative Andy Harris criticized foreign-owned offshore wind companies for potentially harming marine life and the environment, and for the risk of them controlling the U.S. energy supply. Following a public event in Ocean City, MD, Orsted withdrew their offshore wind deal with Maryland. Representative Randy Feenstra noted that his legislation to ban China from buying American farmland, which passed the House last March, is being blocked by Senate Democrats, and President Biden is not pushing his allies to act. Representative Ashley Hinson stressed the Biden Administration's failure to track Chinese ownership of U.S. land and vowed to continue fighting to BLOCK the CCP from buying U.S. land. Senator Josh Hawley and Representative Brian Babin also spoke out against foreign ownership of U.S. farmland, citing it as a national security threat and an issue that could kill the family farm.

🚨The Biden Administration is failing to track Chinese ownership of US land. The CCP is undermining our food supply & stealing national security secrets to build leverage against us. I’ll continue fighting to BLOCK the CCP from buying US land. https://t.co/ivzHdqx97s
China has no business buying our farmland. That's why I introduced legislation — which passed the House last March — to BAN China from buying American farmland. Senate Democrats are blocking this bill & President Biden refuses to push his liberal allies to defend our farmland.
We should never allow foreign owned offshore wind companies to control our energy supply -- much less harm our marine life and environment while doing it. https://t.co/p9xCGzAGn7
