Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025
What changed between versions
All references to 'foreign adversary' and 'Chinese Communist Party' were replaced with 'foreign country of concern,' a term defined by 15 U.S.C. 4651 (FY2021 NDAA). This broadens the bill's application from targeting China specifically to potentially covering any country designated under that statutory definition.
The specific reference to the Federal Interagency Investment Working Group (established by Executive Order 13577) was removed and replaced with the general term 'relevant interagency working groups,' eliminating a dependency on that particular executive order.
Section 3(B)(D) changed from reducing dependence on 'supply chains from China' to 'supply chains from foreign countries of concern,' broadening the supply chain focus beyond China alone.
Section 3(11) narrowed the scope from reviewing initiatives by 'other countries' to initiatives by 'other trusted countries,' limiting the comparative analysis to allied nations only.
A new defined term 'foreign country of concern' was added, incorporating by reference the definition from section 9901 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.
The definition of 'trusted country' was simplified from 'a country that is not determined by the Secretary to be a foreign adversary of the United States' to simply 'a country that is not a foreign country of concern,' removing the Secretary's discretionary determination role.
Section 3(4) removed the clause 'and should not disadvantage domestic investors or companies,' eliminating a stated principle that FDI policies should protect domestic investors.
