China invests billions overseas to secure its future.

The U.S. invests billions too – through our Development Finance Corporation (DFC) – but with the brakes on.

Congress has only 8 weeks left to change that – before the agency expires. 🧵 The DFC was built to compete with China – financing development projects abroad that also advance U.S. interests.

Think: biotech, solar manufacturing, critical minerals.

But it has the potential to do so much more.
