Trump to pause enforcement of law banning bribery of foreign officials
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act became law in 1977. In 2024, the Department of Justice announced 24 cases related to the anti-bribery statute.
Summary
Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order pausing enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which prohibits U.S. and foreign firms from bribing foreign officials.
The move aims to prevent American businesses from being disadvantaged against foreign competitors. The Department of Justice will review past cases and develop new enforcement guidelines.
The FCPA, enacted in 1977, carries significant penalties for violations. The DOJ pursued 24 FCPA cases in 2024 and 17 in 2023.
Critics warn that halting enforcement could encourage corruption and undermine global business ethics.
Rooting out corruption...by legalizing corruption.
I used the corruption to destroy the corruption.
Sounds exactly like my 1st word country!
That..that actually sounds significantly worse.
We are totally fucked until the rubes wake up and realize how bad all of this is. I’m not optimistic they will because propaganda has gotten so good.
And education has gotten so bad.
Were at the point where some voting age adults haven't seen, heard or read anything other than what Fox, Breitbart and conservative radio tells them.
A "news" channel that claims its not news whenever it gets brought to court. And this propaganda network rolls 24/7.
He apparently drained the swamp and replaced with with a bog. A very sulphurous one.
We would be lucky to have a bog. Now we have a prison septic tank.
Goodbye trade agreements, why risk trade with a corrupt institution
I'm trying to figure out how this saves him or his children in the future. Mind immediately goes to the condo sale to UAE or whoever, but it could be any number of situations with this stupid fuck.
It's for his buddies who want to take over other countries' governments with a flood of political "donations" like they do in the US.
It's really interesting watching how professional anti fraud and corruption associations like ACAMS and ACFE are saying absolutely nothing about these moves. Bodies which go on about professional integrity exhibiting a complete absence of spine.
Lmfao this is the important shit they needed to get to alongside projecting the trans kink 🏳️🌈
One sec, just need to bribe a few foreign officials. BRB.
just because you ain't prosecuting, don't make it legal.
i guess they aren't planning on leaving power even after the term ends. future admin or doj would likely go after those who take advantage of lord diaper's asinine 'order'.
