On Foreign Policy: Keep Chinese Communist Party from purchasing U.S. land

Gov. Justice [joined] 17 Republican governors who are calling upon the Biden administration to take steps to keep foreign governments from purchasing U.S. land. The 17 Republican governors sent a letter to Biden on Monday calling on the administration to protect the United States from an "imminent national security threat directly related to the Communist Party of China's efforts to amass U.S. land."

"For too long, we have allowed dangerous and adversarial governments to infiltrate our country," the 17 governors wrote in the letter to Biden. "Our states will tolerate such allowances no longer. The Biden administration must reckon with the fact that such entities are plain threats to our national security, our farmers and our citizenry. This is especially true since the CCP enacted a law in 2017 requiring Chinese citizens abroad to collaborate with Chinese security officials on intelligence work--no questions asked."

West Virginia has existing foreign ownership restrictions in effect.

The Middle East has descended into chaos and war because of Joe Biden's reckless and weak foreign policy. We must stand with our ally Israel and stand against Iran's escalation and support for terrorist organizations like Hamas.

On Foreign Policy: Requested $5m from legislature to support Ukraine hospital

[Comparing candidate stances on Russia-Ukraine war]: As West Virginia's incumbent governor, Jim Justice requested $5 million from the state legislature in 2022 to aid Ukraine during the initial days of the war, which he said would support a maternity and children's hospital in that country. Justice also donated several armored personnel carriers from the West Virginia National Guard to Ukraine and directed state law enforcement agencies to send their surplus bulletproof vests to the country.

Similarly, Glenn Elliott, the mayor of has taken a strong position in favor of Ukraine. He supports more U.S. military and financial aid to the country. "I do believe that supporting Ukraine financially and militarily in their war against [Russia President Vladimir] Putin's dangerous authoritarianism is critical for our national security interests. We must support Ukraine's efforts now as a broader effort to protect other European nation's sovereignty."
