The US and Israel have signed a historic diplomatic agreement leading to normalized bilateral ties surrounding mutual security, economic, technological, and cultural interests. This agreement will extend the previous US-Israeli Joint Statement of 2019, which promised an increase in scientific, educational, and technological partnership as well as an exchange of diplomatic officials. Both the US and Israel have expressed enthusiasm that this cooperative agreement will pave the way for a real and secure peace in the Middle East.
Joe Biden recently signed an Executive Order for US investors to examine portfolios for potential human rights, national security, or environmental risks that could come from investing in certain Chinese companies. This order could significantly affect US investors in China, both financially and politically. Investors should take extra caution when it comes to investing in China or understanding the scope and any regulatory implications of the order.
