Trump Stops Bribery Prosecutions Saying US Businesses Need a Fair Chance
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order directing the Justice Department to halt prosecutions of Americans accused of bribing foreign officials to secure business deals.
The order instructs Attorney General Pam Bondi to suspend cases under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) of 1977 until new enforcement guidelines are introduced to support U.S. business interests.
According to the directive, any future FCPA investigations or charges must receive approval from the attorney general.
The White House argues that the law puts American companies at a disadvantage compared to foreign competitors, as it prevents them from engaging in practices that are common in global markets.
“America’s national security relies on U.S. businesses gaining strategic advantages worldwide,” a White House statement read, emphasizing that Trump is curbing aggressive FCPA enforcement to help American firms compete on a level playing field.
