Static page does not show my posts

So this is the code I have on one of my Website inside the footer, this basically get’s the 3 latest posts and displays the_title you can change this to show the_excerpt.

<?php // news posts loop begins here
    $newsPosts = new WP_Query('page=blog&posts_per_page=3');

    if ($newsPosts->have_posts()) : 
    while ($newsPosts->have_posts()) : $newsPosts->the_post(); ?>

    <!-- Blogs -->
    <div class="post-item">
        <!-- This is where you can insert the excerpt -->
        <h4><a href="https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/215718/<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
    </div>

    <!-- ./Blogs -->
    <?php endwhile;
    else :

    // fallback no content message here
        endif;
        wp_reset_postdata();
?>
