While national security is a popular topic, bills that force the government to reopen years of old business deals often face pushback from the business community and legal experts.

Key Points

This bill would force a government committee to look back at business deals and land purchases made by foreign companies since 2017. It specifically targets deals located near America's nuclear weapons, including missile silos, bomber bases, and submarine ports.
The goal is to find out if any of these foreign owned properties or businesses pose a threat to national security. If a deal is found to be risky, the government could take steps to fix the problem or even ask the president to undo the deal entirely.
The review would cover a wide range of locations, such as places where nuclear weapons are stored, tested, or controlled. It also includes research labs and factories that build parts for the nation's nuclear arsenal.
The Secretary of the Treasury would have 180 days to finish the review and report the findings to Congress. While most of the report would be secret for security reasons, a summary would be shared with the public if possible.
