President Donald Trump will to sign an executive order directing the Department of Justice to pause enforcing a nearly half-century-old law that prohibits American companies and foreign firms from bribing officials of foreign governments to obtain or retain business.
The pause will be implemented to avoid putting U.S. businesses at an economic disadvantage to foreign competitors.
Trump reportedly will tell Attorney General Pam Bondi to prepare new guidelines for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act enforcement.

this one really makes my head hurt
The argument against the FCPA predates Trump and is along the lines of, in some countries bribery is an accepted form of doing business and in those places US companies are at a disadvantage to others. The counter to that is, Be Best America.
lol, some orbiter in Mar a Lago is guilty of hella bribes
He’s literally a mercantilist no surprise
Every random government minister in the third world just saw their eyes turn into dollar signs like a cartoon character
The gang returns to the 19th century
This is just cartoonish at this point. If a piece of fiction included this, it would be considered too on the nose.
Oh so I guess Republicans are chill with Democrat senator Bob Menendez acting as an unregistered foreign agent for Egypt. Trump pardon incoming?
Are you fucking kidding me
