Commerce and GAO must lead a cross-agency review of how the U.S. can attract more foreign investment from “trusted” countries. The study covers jobs, digital trade, high-tech sectors, and state-backed investors, with public comment and a report to Congress within one year.
Modern Action shows what the legislation would change, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Global Investment in American Jobs Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Latest action on H.R. 1679: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Who this affects: The bill mainly affects federal agencies involved in trade and investment policy, along with state and local economic development efforts that compete for business investment. It also affects foreign companies and investors that may be treated as “responsible” and based in “trusted” countries, and it puts particular focus on state-owned or state-backed enterprises tied to state-directed economies and the Chinese Communist Party. U.S. businesses—especially advanced-technology firms—and workers can be affected indirectly if the report’s recommendations later shape investment policy, digital trade rules, or responses to foreign trade barriers. The public also has a defined role through required comment opportunities in the Federal Register.
Why this matters: Foreign direct investment can shape where factories, offices, and other operations are built in the United States, which can affect jobs and local economies. This bill tries to give Congress a detailed, current picture of what drives those investments and what policies might make the U.S. more attractive to investors from “trusted” countries, without weakening existing protections. It also pushes the government to look closely at risks tied to state-backed enterprises—especially those linked to the Chinese Communist Party—and at foreign trade barriers like forced data localization and intellectual property violations that can hit U.S. advanced-technology firms. The bill itself does not change investment rules directly; its practical effect depends on what the report recommends and what Congress and agencies do afterward.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
