Foreign Adversary Investment Prohibition Act

HR 9405, the Foreign Adversary Investment Prohibition Act, prohibits current Members of Congress (Senators and Representatives) from engaging in certain financial transactions with entities tied to specific foreign adversaries, including China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela under Maduro. It defines prohibited transactions broadly to include gifts, loans, investments in securities or commodities, and similar financial dealings. Violations can result in civil penalties of up to $15,000 per offense, enforced by the Attorney General through civil action. The law directly affects Members of Congress by restricting their financial interactions with entities linked to designated countries during their service.
