Trump to pause enforcement of law banning bribery of foreign officials

The pause will be implemented to give the Trump administration time to examine whether the law puts U.S. businesses at an economic disadvantage to foreign competitors.

The Bloomberg news service first reported the planned executive order related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

A White House official confirmed the report, telling CNBC, “A pause in enforcement to better understand how to streamline the FCPA to make sure it’s in line with economic interests and national security.”
