Foreign Investment in the United States

The U.S. government maintains an open investment policy and generally encourages foreign investment throughout the U.S. economy. At the same time, the U.S. government also maintains various regulatory and oversight strategies for investment in certain sectors which impact national security. This includes the U.S. defense industrial base and various critical infrastructure sectors. In this area, ITTA experts provide clients with:
