Block foreign-influenced companies from election spending

Warren proposed closing a legal loophole by barring foreign-controlled or foreign-influenced companies from spending money in American elections. The restrictions would cover U.S. subsidiaries of foreign companies, firms with at least 1% ownership by a single foreign entity or 5% ownership by multiple foreign entities, and trade associations that receive money from those entities.

Context: The stated ownership thresholds are 1% for a single foreign entity and 5% for multiple foreign entities.

In their own words

My plan would close this loophole and ban foreign controlled and influenced companies from spending in American elections
