U.S. Suspends Anti-Bribery Law—A Strategy to Compete with China?

In a surprising decision, U.S. President Donald Trump paused the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)—a law that has long prevented American companies from engaging in bribery when doing business abroad. His argument? U.S. firms need a level playing field against competitors, whose companies allegedly operate in corruption-prone markets without the same legal restrictions.

🔹 What does this mean for American businesses in Africa, Latin America, and the Global South?
🔹 Will this decision truly make U.S. companies more competitive against China?
🔹 Or could it backfire, fueling more corruption and increasing costs for multinationals?

In this episode of China in Africa Debate, Christian Geraud Neema, Africa Editor at China Global South Project, breaks down the geopolitical and economic implications of Trump’s executive order.
