US proposes restricting foreign land purchases near military bases
- The US government wants to require approval for foreign citizens and companies buying property within 100 miles of 8 bases.
- The proposed rule change aims to expand the power of a committee reviewing foreign investments to protect national security.
- The issue arose from a Chinese company's plan to build a plant near an Air Force base in North Dakota.
- The bases include 3 tied to the B-21 Raider, the US's future stealth bomber.
- Lawmakers also want to review foreign investments in agricultural land.
