America remains a magnet for global capital: according to recent foreign direct investment (FDI) data, just seven countries contribute a disproportionately large share. Japan leads the pack, investing $754 billion in the U.S. by 2024. Close behind are the United Kingdom (~ $743 billion) and Canada (~ $733 billion).

Also among the top contributors are the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Ireland, all major holders of U.S. companies and manufacturing assets. These investments are not just financial bets; they translate into significant influence, since foreign companies are deeply embedded in U.S. sectors like manufacturing, technology, wholesale trade, and more.

Europe, as a region (including the UK and Germany), accounts for over half of all FDI in the U.S. As global money flows continue, these key nations aren’t just funding America — they’re quietly shaping critical parts of its economy.
