DFC Invests

On Memorial Day, DFC joins Americans everywhere in honoring the brave service members who laid down their lives to defend our nation.

“The U.S.'s greatest export is the American free market system and its legacy of success. It’s the foundation of American Prosperity and it’s the engine that drives strength, growth, and goodwill worldwide.” @DFC_CEO

“Our goal is to build industrial capacity, create economic ecosystems for our partners, and bind us together through shared economic strength, growth, and goodwill.” @DFC_CEO

.@DFC_CEO at @ASCOA: “That is going to be one of the primary goals in my tenure as CEO: To make sure we're getting capital and dollars into the Americas and really developing these as greater allies and business partners for not just the next 3 to 5 years, but the next 10 to 50.”

DFC’s agreement with Vanuatu strengthens America’s economic engagement in the Pacific by opening the door to private sector investment – delivering for both Ni-Vanuatu and American businesses.

DFC has a longstanding commitment to advance mutual security and prosperity in the Western Hemisphere, which currently represents the largest share of DFC’s global portfolio.

Great afternoon with @ASCOA for the Washington Conference on the Americas yesterday. We see tremendous opportunity for DFC investment across Latin America, especially with new leaders that are eager to work with us. Our goal is to build industrial capacity, create economic ecosystems for our partners, and bind us together through shared economic strength, growth, and goodwill.

Together with @AclaraResources, DFC is helping secure a dependable Western Hemisphere source of critical minerals that bolsters U.S. economic resilience, supports allied industry, and reduces reliance on adversaries. dfc.gov/investment-sto…

This week @DFC_CEO Ben Black and @EconAtState Assistant Secretary Caleb Orr met with Honduran President Nasry Asfura and his government in Tegucigalpa to discuss potential opportunities for investment in Honduras. Read the full release: dfc.gov/media/press-re…

Private sector investment drives economic growth. This week, Assistant Secretary Caleb Orr led an interagency delegation at an AmCham Honduras reception to advance U.S. business opportunities in Honduras. The U.S. is committed to working with the private sector to strengthen trade, expand investment in critical infrastructure and energy, and create operating environments where American companies can compete and succeed. Together, we're building regional prosperity through partnership and private sector collaboration.

Assistant Secretary Orr brought a delegation of U.S. government economic agencies, including @DFC_CEO Ben Black, to meet with President Asfura of Honduras. Honduras is a close partner of the United States on security and near-shoring industry. President Asfura is a businessman who understands the importance of private-sector growth and infrastructure investment, and his results-oriented leadership is positioning Honduras to succeed. The United States is advancing investment in critical infrastructure, energy, and regional supply chains where American businesses can expand, strengthen our partnership, and drive shared economic growth.

Our neighbors are our partners in regional security and prosperity. When @DFC_CEO met with Honduran President Asfura this week, he emphasized DFC’s focus on mobilizing private capital across the Western Hemisphere, and the abundant investment opportunity in Honduras.

Great to meet with President Asfura in Tegucigalpa today. Lots of potential for further U.S.-Honduras engagement, including DFC investments in critical sectors like energy, infrastructure, and ports. The U.S. remains committed to shared security and prosperity in the Western Hemisphere. 🇺🇸🇭🇳

By securing supply chains across our hemisphere, we lay the foundation for enduring safety and economic prosperity.

DFC’s investments help make America stronger, safer, and more self-reliant.

DFC is disrupting Chinese dominance of rare earth supply chains by supporting the development of what is believed to be one of the world’s largest rare earth deposits. Learn more: dfc.gov/investment-sto…

Enjoyed a great conversation with @GPCapital_org CEO Cate Ambrose about @DFCgov’s new authorities and investment approach. Encouraging to see growing interest in how DFC is investing for America across technology, energy, infrastructure and critical minerals. Thanks to the Global Private Capital Association for having me. #GPCC2026
