North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum is the latest government leader to request a review of the proposed Fufeng project in Grand Forks.
Burgum has dashed off a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asking for the expedited review by the Committee on Foreign Investment. The governor says he supports efforts made last week by U.S. Senators John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer for a full review of the land purchase by CFIUS.
Burgum says Grand Forks leaders need clarity on whether the corn milling project has national security implications – or not. “Our top priority is, and always will be, the safety and security of our citizens and our nation.”
