Trump Eases Enforcement of Law Against Bribery of Foreign Officials

In a controversial move, President Trump has ordered a pause in the enforcement of the U.S. law that prohibits bribery of foreign officials. This decision, which has been met with mixed reactions, aims to loosen restrictions on overseas business dealings. Reports indicate that Trump plans to sign an executive order to formally implement this change, signaling a significant shift in U.S. anti-corruption policy. The enforcement pause is seen as a step towards making overseas bribery more permissible, raising concerns about the implications for global business ethics.
