WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Armed Services Committee said on Thursday he would introduce legislation requiring foreign companies to divest any holdings of U.S. infrastructure critical to national security.

Duncan Hunter, a California Republican, also vowed to "kill" with legislation a pending deal to allow a state-owned Arab company to manage terminals in major U.S. ports.

He said infrastructure such as ports, electric grids and power plants should not be owned by foreign firms. Under his legislation, "Any foreign companies that own critical infrastructure would be required to divest so it's owned by Americans," Hunter told reporters.
