The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act plays a vital role in promoting ethical business practices and combating corruption on a global scale. President Trump's decision to pause enforcement of this law is deeply concerning and risks enabling corporations to engage in bribery and unethical conduct without consequence. This move undermines the rule of law and America's standing as a leader in fighting corruption internationally. Enforcement of the FCPA promotes a level playing field for businesses and prevents companies from gaining unfair advantages through bribery. Allowing rampant corruption will ultimately harm American interests and competitiveness. I urge you to oppose this misguided order and uphold the FCPA's important anti-bribery provisions that protect the integrity of the global marketplace. American companies should lead by example through ethical business conduct, not resorting to corruption. Upholding the FCPA is critical for preserving fair competition and the United States' reputation worldwide.
