Cornyn Previews Outbound Investment Legislation.

Published | Video Starts at 07:06

Today, I'm proud to announce I'm introducing legislation to finally tackle this issue called the Foreign Investment Guardrails to Help Thwart China act, or the acronym is Fight China. Two years ago, I sponsored an amendment to the NDAA requiring transparency for these outbound investments. It passed the Senate overwhelmingly with a final bipartisan vote of 91 to 6. We don't see many votes here in the Senate these days where there's such strong bipartisan support. So I'm grateful for that. (07:06–07:21)
