The Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025 has passed the Senate and is now being considered by the House. The bill would direct the Secretary of Commerce, working with other federal agencies, to conduct a comprehensive review and report to Congress on ways to increase U.S. competitiveness in attracting foreign direct investment from companies based in trusted countries.
The study would examine economic impacts of foreign investment, investment trends, federal policies, and barriers affecting investment in advanced technology and manufacturing sectors. It would also evaluate risks posed by state-directed or state-backed foreign entities and analyze best practices from U.S. states and other countries to improve foreign investment competitiveness while reducing reliance on supply chains from adversarial nations.
The bill requires the Commerce Department and Government Accountability Office to publish their review plans and proposed findings in the Federal Register to allow for public input. A final report with findings and recommendations would be due to Congress within one year of enactment. The report would focus on enhancing U.S. competitiveness while preserving security, labor, consumer, financial, and environmental standards.
According to the Congressional Budget Office, implementing this bill would cost approximately $2 million over the 2026-2030 period, primarily for economists and support staff to conduct the study and prepare the report.
