DeSantis held a news conference Thursday at Miami-Dade College's Wolfson Campus where he discussed recent actions he was taking against China and what he called "countries of concern" like Russia, Iran and Cuba.

He also said he would propose legislation prohibiting the purchase of lands by those countries.
