CFIUS stands for which of the following?

• A. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States
• B. Council for Foreign Information Security
• C. Committee for International Finance and United States
• D. Coalition of Foreign Investors United States

Answer: (A)

CFIUS is the official name of the U.S. government body that reviews foreign investments for national security implications. It stands for Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. This interagency committee, chaired by the President and including key departments like Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security, and State, evaluates whether a foreign acquisition could affect national security and, if needed, can require mitigations or block the transaction. The other options don’t correspond to the real entity or its focus, which is specifically foreign investment in the United States rather than information security, international finance in a general sense, or a broad coalition.
