Assistant Secretary Chris Pilkerton's Remarks at ACI CFIUS Conference

Thank you to ACI for the invitation to speak this morning. I appreciate the opportunity to engage with you all and look forward to the discussion and hearing your questions.Over the past half-century, CFIUS has developed from a relatively obscure government authority into a critical tool at the forefront of our national security. The CFIUS that we know today has been shaped through a series of laws, regulations, and executive actions that enhance our ability to protect the United States from new and evolving threats while facilitating investment to help grow the U.S. economy. Today, CFIUS’s capabilities continue to advance as we find new ways to strengthen national security outcomes and improve the efficiency of our process.As we look forward, you can expect CFIUS to continue to remain steadfast in its protection of national security consistent with the United States’ open investment policy.
