"Foreign power" simply means any country other than the United States, not necessarily one with which the U.S. has poor relations.

George or Anyone:

I was reading the  "ADJUDICATIVE GUIDELINES FOR DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY FOR ACCESS TO CLASSIFIED INFORMATION"

and it says the following about family abroad:

a) A determination that the immediate family member(s) (spouse, father, mother, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters), cohabitant, or associate(s) in question are not agents of a foreign power.

What is exactly a foreign power? Does it mean countries with military might and hostile to the U.S?
