American Land and Property Protection Act
This bill prohibits U.S. real estate purchases by nationals or entities tied to specific foreign governments designated as "adversaries," including China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela (under Maduro), and certain foreign terrorist organizations. It directly affects foreign governments and their agents (like trustees or fiduciaries) seeking to buy public or private U.S. property. The President is directed to take necessary actions to enforce this ban, overriding other existing laws. The prohibition covers all U.S. states, territories, and possessions, including Puerto Rico and Guam.
