Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025

The Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025 would require the Secretary of Commerce, with the Comptroller General (GAO) and other federal agencies, to conduct an interagency review of how the United States can be more globally competitive in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) from “trusted” private sector entities. The review would analyze current investment patterns, barriers, and policy tools, with particular attention to advanced technology sectors, data flows, and the role of state-owned or state-backed enterprises (especially from CCP-inflicted economies). The bill would exclude CFIUS-related policy reviews, invite public comment, and require a final report to Congress within one year that offers recommendations to boost FDI from trusted countries while preserving U.S. security, labor, consumer, financial, and environmental protections. It signals a policy stance that openness to investment from trusted countries should be balanced against national security concerns, and it places heightened scrutiny on investments tied to adversaries.
