The US wants to limit investment in advanced technologies abroad.

The administration of US President Joe Biden is preparing new rules that could limit investment in advanced technology abroad, according to government reports addressed to lawmakers.

⠀

The Treasury and Commerce Departments said they are considering a new system to regulate US investment in foreign advanced technology that could pose a threat to national security. It is noted that the White House may ban some of the investments.

According to sources, the new program is expected to include investments in advanced semiconductors, quantum computers and some forms of artificial intelligence. The reports do not indicate which countries will be affected by the new rules, but sources believe that they are likely to apply primarily to US investments in China.
