U.S. overseas investments

U.S. overseas investments refer to American companies and individuals putting money into businesses, real estate, or financial assets in other countries. These investments can include building factories, owning shares in foreign companies, or purchasing properties abroad. They are driven by opportunities to access new markets, diversify risk, or take advantage of lower costs. Such investments benefit the U.S. economy by fostering international trade, creating jobs, and generating profits for American investors. Conversely, they also expose investors to risks from political, economic, or currency fluctuations in the host countries.
