Committee on Foreign Investment

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is a government group that reviews and evaluates foreign investments in U.S. companies and assets. Its goal is to protect national security by ensuring that foreign investments do not harm the country’s interests, such as controlling critical technologies or infrastructure. If CFIUS finds a potential risk, it can recommend modifying or blocking the transaction. The committee includes representatives from various government agencies, working together to balance open investment with security concerns.
