Under Trump's administration, the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) softened, allowing for bribery to be overlooked unless it harms U.S. interests. This marks a significant departure from the previous administration’s commitment to preventing corruption for broader national interests. Notably, the focus now rests on cases directly tied to American economic and national security, leading to ambiguity around the implications of this guidance on international business practices and ethical standards. As a result, the enforcement body’s stance invites concerns about fostering corrupt practices globally and weakening America's ethical business framework.
The Trump administration is now ensuring that it prosecutes only cases directly relevant to U.S. economic and national security interests, departing from the previous ethos against corruption.
The 'general belief that preventing corruption was in the nation's best interest' has shifted, possibly undermining longstanding views on fair international business practices.
