Trump Halts Enforcement of Foreign Bribery Law, Impacts U.S. Companies Abroad

In a significant move, former President Trump has ordered the pause of the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), allowing U.S. companies more leeway to engage in activities that may include bribing foreign officials. This decision has been viewed as a green light for corporate corruption abroad, with implications particularly for firms like Adani Group, which may find relief from ongoing scrutiny. Critics warn that this rollback of anti-corruption laws could harm governance and economies internationally, raising concerns about the implications for American businesses and global relations. The Executive Order signifies a shift in U.S. policy towards foreign bribery, effectively halting prosecutions of firms previously accused of such activities.
