Trump to pause enforcement of law banning bribery of foreign officials

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order to pause prosecutions of Americans accused of bribing foreign officials. The order aims to prevent U.S. businesses from facing disadvantages against foreign competitors, though this claim is unclear.

Attorney General Pam Bondi will review actions related to the law, and prepare new enforcement guidelines. Present and past actions will also be reviewed. A White House official stated that the pause will help streamline the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act to align with economic interests and national security.
