Washington D.C., February 11, 2025: U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order temporarily suspending the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), which prohibits American companies from bribing foreign officials. The White House stated that the suspension aims to support U.S. businesses operating in challenging global markets.
While critics warn that the move could harm the U.S.’s reputation for ethical business practices, supporters argue it levels the playing field against international competitors with fewer restrictions. The suspension will remain in effect pending a review of the FCPA’s impact on American businesses.
