What is CFIUS?
The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
is an interagency committee charged with reviewing transactions
involving foreign investment in the U.S. and certain real estate
transactions for national security considerations. CFIUS has the
ability to impose conditions or suspend or prohibit transactions to
protect U.S. national security.
Investors, target companies, and market participants should
conduct due diligence to assess the full range of national security
concerns that CFIUS considers before undertaking any foreign
investment transaction.
CFIUS is chaired by the Secretary of the Treasury and is
composed of key national security and economic agencies, the White
House, and the intelligence community.
