Trump Green-Lights Bribery and Corruption With New Executive Order

President Donald Trump has instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to pause prosecutions of companies that bribe foreign government officials to win business.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act has been "stretched beyond proper bounds and abused in a manner that harms the interests of the United States," hurting American competitiveness, Trump wrote in an executive order signed Monday.

The new executive order directs Bondi to spend 180 days reviewing all current FCPA investigations and enforcement actions against American companies, and issue a set of guidelines and practices that "prioritize American interests." She can then extend the review period for another 180 days at her discretion.

The fact sheet didn't elaborate on what the White House considers "overenforcement," but it did highlight the country's need for critical minerals and deep-water ports.

Last year, the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission filed 26 FCPA-related enforcement actions, with 31 companies under investigation by year's end, the fact sheet said. Over the past 10 years, officials have brought an average of 36 enforcement actions per year.

Major companies such as Goldman Sachs, Glencore and Walmart have all come under FCPA scrutiny, according to Reuters.

Anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International said the law has made the U.S. a global leader in fighting corruption. Monday's executive order "diminishes - and could pave the way for completely eliminating - the crown jewel in the U.S.'s fight against global corruption," executive director Gary Kalman told Reuters.

The way I am reading this is, is instead of catching the bad actors, you just do worse than them.

Law and Order!

International bribery
Like $2B loan to the Trumps from a Saudi prince thug.

Come on now, you can't be asking about bribery, graft, grift and nepo babies unless its the Bidens. All that graft, grift nepotism and bribery with Trump is in their blind spots that just keep getting more and more blind.

He's on another thread accusing everyone of being mentally ill while he casts himself as the voice of reason. His victory lap was short lived in light of the shit show trump has forced his ref hat army to explain.

Come on maga, there is no way you think taking cash payments from foreign governments is a good idea.

The maga conditioning continues. Do any of you stand for anything anymore?

See our posts on Dementia Joe taking foreign cash payments. We were against it. As I remember, you were fine with that. In light of that, we are fine with Trump doing the same. Why shouldn't Republicans benefit by doing things that Pro-slavers do?

I :heart; Q

Let me explain double standards to you, Tpap. If its wrong and your against it, it doesn't matter who does it. If its not wrong when Trump does it, your full of shit and its a double standard.

My rule is that if progs do it, we do it, and do it much better. So, no double standard here. And now that Trump is a Nazi dictator, you'll just have to live with it.

Your rule is double standards. Just be honest about your dishonesty.
