Slotkin to Trump official: When it comes to our farmers, I need facts

Published | Video Starts at 04:42

… buy both our farmland and our agribusinesses like the things that really make sure we can feed ourselves by ourselves. So again, we have a coalition ready to do this. The president goes off and meets with Xi Jinping in this summit with the head of China. And he was asked about this on Fox News. And they said, shouldn't we ban selling of farmland, particularly around military bases? And he said, quote, you want to see the price drop, you want to see farmers lose a lot of money, just take them out of the market. So that is officially, as I understand it, that the President of the United States is fine with the Chinese Communist Party. Being able to buy farmland or agribusinesses. (04:42–05:05)
