President Donald Trump is set Monday to sign an executive order directing the Department of Justice to pause enforcing a law that prohibits American companies to bribe officials of foreign governments.
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 Practice 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.”
