Key points
Establishment of a Committee on National Critical Capabilities to assess risks from US business investments abroad.
Mandatory notification for US businesses engaging in transactions that could shift critical capabilities to countries of concern.
Presidential authority to suspend or prohibit transactions posing unacceptable risks to national security or crisis preparedness.
Requirement for government contractors to disclose supply chains and reliance on imports from countries of concern.
