The Department of the Treasury has issued new rules expanding the enforcement powers of the Committee of Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), strengthening the government’s ability to scrutinize foreign investments that may pose national security risks, such as those involving adversarial nations like China.

The updates reflect a growing focus on protecting critical U.S. infrastructure, technology, and sensitive domestic real estate near military installations.
