Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025

Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025 directs the Secretary of Commerce, with GAO and the Federal Interagency Investment Working Group, to conduct an interagency review of how the United States can improve its global competitiveness in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) from “responsible private-sector entities” based in “trusted countries.” The act emphasizes advancing U.S. economic prosperity, security, and jobs while addressing barriers in advanced technology sectors and digital trade. It places particular focus on countering investments by state-directed or state-backed entities (notably those linked to the Chinese Communist Party) and calls for public input and a final report with policy recommendations within one year. It also explicitly excludes review of laws/policies related to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). The measure expresses a sense that the U.S. should remove unnecessary barriers to trusted-FDI, maintain leadership in cutting-edge tech, strengthen resilient supply chains, and protect security and IP. The House reportedly passed the bill in June 2025, and it was referred to the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee for consideration. The text as introduced frames a broad, data-driven examination of how U.S. investment policy can attract capital while safeguarding national interests, with a pronounced stance on countering Chinese influence in global investment.
