Trump infuriates far-right influencers by touting Chinese land ownership
Over the past few years, Republicans, including President Donald Trump, have circled the wagons in an effort to thwart what the party framed as an existential crisis: Chinese land ownership in the United States.
Laws passed in Texas and Florida explicitly banning the sale of some lands, particularly farmland, to Chinese investors have underscored the xenophobic tinge to the MAGA movement’s efforts to parlay its espoused national security concerns into a major political issue.
And with that in mind, Trump made things quite awkward for the MAGA faithful on Thursday when, during his excursion to China, which seems to have netted next-to-nothing in concessions, he defended Chinese farm ownership in the U.S. Trump made his comments to Fox News host Sean Hannity, and even repeated his previous claim that Chinese students should be allowed to study in the U.S. As my colleague Steve Benen explained last August when Trump made the claim, this assertion flies in the face of the Trump administration’s move to strip visas from Chinese students, as well as MAGA rhetoric from folks like Vice President JD Vance condemning foreign students studying at American universities.
Fox News Corners Trump on Siding With China in MAGA Betrayal
Donald Trump has suddenly announced a complete one-eighty on his campaign pledge to American farmers that heâd stop Chinese nationals buying up land in the U.S.
Fox News host Sean Hannity pressed him on why he had abandoned his promise to intervene on Thursday during his trip to China.
âItâs not that I love it,â Trump said, as he conceded that his promise has been withdrawn.
Hannity said âthousands and thousands of acres of farmland, ranchland, and land near military installationsâ are being purchased by Chinese buyers.
Farm-dependent counties in the U.S. voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2024; 78 percent of them backed Trump, which was up even from the strong support for his first term.
