(Archived Content)

 

Foreign investment plays an important role in maintaining America's economic strength.   When foreign companies invest in the United States, they are sending a clear signal of confidence in the American economy and American workers.   The President's Executive Order today strengthens the process of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and will ensure that all appropriate federal agencies rigorously review potential foreign investments with national security implications.   The Executive Order makes clear that America remains open to investment, consistent with the protection of our national security.
