This is exactly why the House passed the bipartisan DETERRENT Act.
The Senate must pass this to protect our colleges and universities from foreign influence.
Federal officials are investigating Duke University and the University of North Dakota over concerns about foreign funding.
For Duke, the concerns aren’t new. Chairman @RepWalberg previously pressed the university over its partnership with Wuhan University and raised questions about taxpayer-funded research, sensitive technology, and ties to Chinese government-linked entities.
Americans deserve to know who is funding our colleges.

One year ago I met with the Chinese Premier in Beijing to discuss national security, opening the Chinese market to US agricultural goods, and reducing fentanyl flows. This was the first House visit to China since 2019. 🇺🇸

I fully support capping coaches pay at tax-payer subsidized public universities. (We pay our top 4 star military generals about $250,000.) May be difficult to get it into the bill at this point, but college athletics is not the free market. It’s a highly subsidized public good and should be regulated like one. 🇺🇸
Sen. Cory Booker, with Sen. Chris Murphy, has filed an amendment to the Protect College Sports Act to cap coaching salaries at $5 million a year, per a copy obtained by @YahooSports.
It is one of 35+ amendments filed. Most of them have little chance of being accepted.

They won’t say it out loud, but all of the Presidents and ADs want college coaches pay capped as well. Curt Cignetti is worth way more than the cap, but LeBron James is also worth way more to the NBA than his capped salary. The reason Congress allows salary caps in pro sports is to maintain competitive balance. Eventually Congress will have to take similar significant steps to keep college sports balanced and sustainable. A coaches salary cap would help stem the college athletics arms race and also open up more opportunities for younger coaches as the top guys hit the cap and choose to go coach on the NFL/NBA.🇺🇸

Great to join 800 community leaders, including outstanding Director Gavin Cooley, at the Spokane Business Association dinner! Spokane can and must do better to make our downtown safer and get rampant open drug use and homelessness off of our streets. Decline is a choice.🇺🇸

Pleased to see this. Definitely an improvement over our previous security relationship w Greenland. In the coming age of missile defense, it is imperative that we have access to geo-strategic supremacy across the N. America. 🇺🇸
President Donald J. Trump officially signs the landmark Greenland security deal alongside Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark and Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen of Greenland.
This HISTORIC deal is critical for American national security and defense in the Arctic Region. 🇺🇸🇩🇰🇬🇱

Outstanding news! Under President Biden, US military routinely fell more than 20% short. Great to see the desire and pride to serve to protect our country back! 🇺🇸
For the first time in FIFTEEN YEARS, our Special Forces recruiters achieved their mission of 2,940 candidates.
And, for the first time in a DECADE, the U.S. Army Reserves have met their mission of 14,322 future Soldiers in September - two weeks ahead of schedule.
The Warriors want IN!
Thank you President Trump, this only happens with your leadership. The spirit is back!
And great work and congratulations @USArmy.

This historic deal is a huge win for the United States and the American people. Thanks to President Trump’s vision and leadership, this historic agreement permanently guarantees U.S. security interests in the Arctic at zero cost to the U.S. taxpayer.
Greenland will forever be part of the strategic defense area of North America and exclude any adversary from it and the surrounding area.
This deal permanently and completely addresses our national security concerns in Greenland.
BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Rep. Michael Baumgartner, R-Wash., told Fox News Digital that America's open political system creates opportunities for foreign governments to try to influence legitimate domestic debates through social media, universities and other institutions.
"The American people need transparency and need to understand what is going on in this public policy discussions and whether it's podcast hosts, certain actors on social media, or things going on our college campuses," Baumgartner said. "We need to know who's behind it and what their motivations are."
