Trump Administration's Pause on FCPA Enforcement: Implications and Analysis

A recent executive order signed by President Trump has paused future investigations and enforcement actions related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). This order directs the US Attorney General to revise FCPA guidelines, potentially prioritising American economic interests and foreign policy objectives. While the FCPA itself remains law, this halt could create uncertainty, particularly regarding international bribery laws. It is important to note, though, that other bribery laws will remain in effect. Companies must still maintain compliance programs due to potential future enforcement and international anti-corruption laws. Businesses should also increase their due diligence in regions where cartels operate.
