Donald Trump to halt enforcement of law banning bribery of foreign officials – Financial Times
President says move will ‘mean a lot more business for America’
“It sounds good on paper, but in [practice] it’s a disaster,” Trump said. “It means that if an American goes over to a foreign country and starts doing business over there legally, legitimately or otherwise, it’s almost a guaranteed investigation, indictment and nobody wants to do business with the Americans because of it.”
A White House official said that the country’s “national security depends on America and its companies gaining strategic commercial advantages around the world”.
The official added: “President Trump is stopping excessive, unpredictable FCPA enforcement that makes American companies less competitive.”
