Washington | President Donald Trump has ordered the US Department of Justice to roll back enforcement of a law that bars Americans from bribing foreign officials to win business, arguing that the restriction puts US firms at a disadvantage.
Mr Trump is ordering Attorney-General Pam Bondi to pause actions taken under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) until she issues new enforcement guidelines, according to a fact sheet on the executive order. All current and past actions will also be reviewed.
