Trump Relaxes Enforcement of Anti-Bribery Law for US Businesses Abroad
In a significant move, President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order that will temporarily halt prosecutions of Americans accused of bribing foreign officials. This decision is expected to impact US companies operating globally, particularly in regions with complex regulatory environments. The pause in enforcement may provide relief for businesses facing Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) allegations, but critics argue it could undermine global anti-corruption efforts. As the Justice Department adjusts its approach, companies must still navigate the complexities of international bribery laws and ensure compliance with evolving regulations. Key considerations include FCPA compliance, anti-bribery measures, and global governance standards.
