President Trump Announces America First Investment Policy

On February 21, 2025, President Trump issued a National Security Policy Memorandum (“NSPM”) announcing the Administration’s “America First Investment Policy” (the “Investment Policy”)[1] affirming the United States’ commitment to open investment while safeguarding national security. Aimed at promoting investment in the United States from allied countries while imposing stricter measures on both inbound and outbound investments from “foreign adversaries,” the Investment Policy incentivizes foreign investment in the United States by announcing a “fast track” process “to facilitate greater investment from specified allied and partner sources in United States businesses involved with United States advanced technology and other important areas.” The NSPM defines “foreign adversaries” to include the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”), including Hong Kong and Macau, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, and the Maduro regime in Venezuela.[2]

End of the Road: FHWA Rescinds Longstanding Buy America Waiver for Manufactured Products

On January 14, 2025, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) published a Final Rule terminating a longstanding manufactured products waiver as part of the agency’s continued implementation of the 2021 Infrastructure Act’s Build America, Buy America (BABA) provisions.  The waiver, originally established in 1983, limited application of the FHWA’s Buy America requirements to only iron and steel products, while permitting recipients of FHWA financial assistance to turn to foreign sources for more complex products.  However, in accordance with the BABA’s express direction for agencies to review and reconsider waivers of general applicability such as the manufactured products waiver, the FHWA determined that its original rationale for the waiver was no longer applicable, and it proposed revised regulations to harmonize its Buy America program with the requirements of BABA (previously discussed here).
