Senators Tommy Tuberville and Ted Cruz announced the introduction of a bill to restrict foreign adversaries from purchasing land near critical U.S. military installations. The 'Protecting Military Installations and Ranges Act' would limit purchases by individuals acting on behalf of Russia, China, Iran or North Korea within 100 miles of a military base or 50 miles of a military training route.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, on Thursday announced the introduction of a bill blocking foreign adversaries from purchasing land near critical U.S. military bases.
"Our adversaries are doing everything they can to claim land dangerously close to some of our nation’s most important military installations and ranges,” Sen. Tuberville said in a press release. “Allowing land ownership by Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran in our sovereign country is a slippery slope."
Sen. Cruz echoed that sentiment, noting the legislation closes a crucial loophole in existing laws that allows foreign entities to get dangerously close to U.S. military bases. Under the bill, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States would gain jurisdiction over real estate investments by foreign actors within 100 miles of a military base or 50 miles of a military training route. It would also block the Department of Defense and Department of Transportation from “issuing final determinations” on such purchases until the committee has reviewed the transaction.
