Protecting U.S. Farmland and Sensitive Sites From Foreign Adversaries Act
Referred to the Committee on Financial Services, and in addition to the Committees on Foreign Affairs, and Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The bill gives the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) broader power to review and block real‑estate deals by China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. It adds new definitions for “elevated risk” transactions, “foreign adversary,” and “sensitive site,” and requires consideration of food‑security impacts. The goal is to keep critical agricultural land and nearby strategic locations out of hostile foreign control.
