Remarks By U.S. Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary For Investment Security Aimen Mir At The Council On Foreign Relations, Washington, D.C.

Date 02/04/2016

The United States has long been the world’s leading destination for foreign direct investment.  From time to time, surges of investment from new sources, though much smaller in volume than investment from the traditional sources, spark discussion about the relative benefit and risks related to such investment.  It is useful, at the outset, to consider why these discussions have always led to the same conclusion: that it is in the national interest of the United States to maintain an open investment policy.
