U.S. National Security Policy and Enforcement: What Companies in Asia Need to Know for 2027

With the U.S. midterm elections bringing major changes to Congress, companies in Asia are asking how U.S. national security policy may evolve and what that could mean for regulatory and enforcement risks across the region.

Join Morrison Foerster partners Brandon Van Grack (Washington, D.C.), co-chair of our National Security and Crisis Management groups and a former senior national security official at the U.S. Department of Justice; Chris Chamberlain (Singapore), former Senior Advisor at the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security; and Daniel Levison (Singapore), who leads MoFo's Ethics + Compliance practice in Asia, for a panel discussion moderated by Rishikeesh Wijaya (Singapore).

The panel will cover what is changing in U.S. national security and enforcement, how to separate policy announcements from actual enforcement priorities, and what these developments mean for businesses in Asia.

Key discussion topics include:

• Changes in U.S. sanctions, export controls, supply chains, and investment screening.
• The gap between political rhetoric, policy announcements, and actual enforcement.
• U.S.–China relations and the implications for regional businesses.
• Which developments create a credible risk of investigations or regulatory action.
• How to prepare for an investigation or crisis and prioritize compliance resources.
• What a Democrat-controlled Congress means for U.S. national security controls and policy.
