Trump Halts Enforcement of Foreign Bribery Law, Impacting American Businesses

In a significant move, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order pausing the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which prohibits U.S. companies from bribing foreign officials. This decision has sparked discussions regarding the potential implications for American businesses operating overseas, as well as relief for the Adani Group, whose stock prices have surged following this announcement. Experts suggest that this suspension may delay legal actions against the Adani Group in the U.S., providing a more favorable environment for such firms abroad. Critics argue that this move could encourage corruption and erode ethical standards in international business.
