HR 1576 United States House · 119th Congress

Protecting American Agriculture from Foreign Adversaries Act of 2025

This bill requires the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to join the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) for reviews of certain transactions involving foreign adversaries. It specifically targets acquisitions of U.S. agricultural land, biotechnology, or agriculture-related infrastructure (like transportation, storage, or processing) by entities from China, North Korea, Russia, or Iran. The USDA must notify CFIUS about reportable transactions, prompting the committee to determine if a full review is needed. The provisions expire for any country removed from the official list of foreign adversaries in federal regulations.
