Lummis reintroduces bill to block CCP from owning farmland near federal property 

By Samantha-Jo Roth | Washington Examiner  Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) is reintroducing legislation that would prevent the Chinese Communist Party from purchasing farmland adjacent to federal property in an effort to protect national security. Lummis is teaming up with Sens. Mike Crapo (R-ID) and John Barrasso (R-WY) on the bill, which would bring heightened scrutiny to land deals implicating Chinese actors after reports of Chinese companies acquiring U.S. farmland near military installations over the last few years.

It also specifies any business “with respect to which the Government of the People’s Rep...

Trump and Macron plan to share ‘burden of securing the peace’ in Ukraine

By Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell  | Daily Signal French President Emmanuel Macron agrees that Europe must join the United States in bearing the “cost and burden of securing the peace” between Russia and Ukraine, President Donald Trump said Monday.

A big step is what’s going to happen over the next few weeks.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL

Kremlin denies Trump’s claim that Putin is ready for peacekeepers in Ukraine

By Diana Glebova | New York Post The Kremlin on Tuesday rebutted President Trump’s claim that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is ready for European peacekeepers to be installed in Ukraine. “There is a position on this matter that was expressed by Russian Foreign Minister [Sergey] Lavrov,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a press conference. “Russia media site TASS reported. I have nothing to add to this and nothing to comment on.” Peskov was referring to Lavrov’s recent remarks asserting that Russia would find it unacceptable if NATO-aligned troops were put in Ukraine after a peace deal is negotiated.

U.S. Small Business Administration to move regional offices out of ‘sanctuary cities’

By Luige Del Puerto | Denver Gazette The U.S. Small Business Administration will relocate its regional offices away from "sanctuary cities," the office's new administrator said in a memo issued on Monday. The memo didn't specifically cite Denver, though a Congressional panel has singled out Denver and a few other urban centers as "sanctuary" jurisdictions.   "To better serve Main Streets across America, especially in rural areas, SBA will relocate regional offices currently based in sanctuary cities to less costly, more accessible locations in communities that comply with federal immigration law," the memo from SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler said.
