Bill > S2563

This bill, titled the "Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025," directs the Secretary of Commerce, in collaboration with other federal agencies, to conduct a comprehensive review of how the United States can better attract foreign direct investment, which is defined as investments made by entities from other countries into American businesses. The review will specifically focus on investments from "responsible private sector entities" based in "trusted countries," meaning countries that are not considered a "foreign country of concern" (a term defined by existing law as countries posing a threat to national security). The bill emphasizes that attracting such investment is crucial for America's economic prosperity, global competitiveness, and security, and aims to identify and remove barriers to this investment, particularly in advanced technology sectors and digital trade, while also considering the impact of foreign government-backed investments and protectionist policies from other nations. The Secretary will also solicit public input before and after the review, and a report with recommendations is to be submitted to Congress within one year of the bill's enactment, excluding matters related to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS).
