SEC. 2. NORTH AMERICAN ALIGNMENT ON FOREIGN IN-
VESTMENT REVIEW. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) Canada and Mexico are the two largest 
trading partners of the United States, with bilateral 
goods and services trade between the United States 
and each such country reaching approximately 
$1,000,000,000,000 in 2024; 
(2) the United States-Mexico-Canada Agree-
ment (USMCA) underpins much of the trade re-
ferred to in paragraph (1) and promotes a strong 
North American supply chain that supports millions 
of good-paying jobs in the United States; 
(3) given the close economic relationship be-
tween the United States, Mexico, and Canada under 
the USMCA, ensuring that each party has robust in-
vestment review mechanisms in place is important 
towards strengthening the collective national security 
interests of those countries; 
(4) the Committee on Foreign Investment in 
the United States plays a critical role in protecting 
the national security of the United States by review-
ing foreign investments for national security risks; 
and

(5) the establishment or modification by Mexico 
and Canada of legislative and regulatory frameworks 
to review foreign investments for national security 
risks that are similar to the framework established 
under section 721 of the Defense Production Act of 
1950 (50 U.S.C. 4565) would— 
(A) advance the national security interests 
of the United States; and 
(B) allow for closer coordination between 
the USMCA countries with respect to shared 
threats from investments in strategically impor-
tant economic sectors and critical infrastructure 
in North America. 
(b) JOINT REVIEW NEGOTIATION OBJECTIVE.—Sub-
ject to the requirements of section 611 of the United 
States-Mexico-Canada Agreement Implementation Act (19 
U.S.C. 4611), during the first joint review conducted after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Trade Rep-
resentative shall advocate for— 
(1) each USMCA country to implement a legis-
lative and regulatory framework for reviewing for-
eign investment for national security risks that is 
similar to the framework established under section 
721 of the Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 
U.S.C. 4565); and

threats from investments in strategically important

America that is overseen by the Trade Representa-
tive, Secretary of State, and Secretary of the Treas-
ury and provides a forum for each USMCA country 
to— 
(A) implement this mechanism;

tion among the USMCA countries related to 
shared threats from foreign investment; 
(C) facilitate the development of consistent
