Summary:

As prospects grow for a new multilateral investment agreement, some groups within the United States are examining foreign investment agreements to determine their impact on the domestic economy. In particular, they are concerned that the current regime of bilateral investment treaties is negatively affecting domestic investment spending by U.S. firms, the U.S. international trade position, and the growth of domestic U.S. jobs.
