The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) is a U.S. government inter-agency group that reviews foreign investments in American companies and assets. Its main goal is to protect national security by assessing whether these investments could pose risks, such as threats to critical technologies or infrastructure. If a deal is deemed risky, CFIUS can negotiate modifications, recommend changes, or even block the investment. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that foreign ownership does not jeopardize the safety and security of the United States.
