President Donald Trump signed an executive order pausing almost all enforcement of a decades-old U.S. anti-bribery law.
The law, known as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act , prohibits companies from providing cash payments or valuable gifts to foreign officials for business advantages.
The FCPA was enacted in 1977 following post-Watergate investigations that revealed widespread foreign bribery.
The executive order imposes a six-month freeze on foreign bribery investigations by the Justice Department .
Almost all FCPA cases will be suspended while Attorney General Pam Bondi conducts a review and revises enforcement guidelines.
Transparency advocates warn that suspending enforcement could deal a blow to global anti-bribery efforts.
Corporate lawyers caution clients that the executive order doesn't give them free rein.
