How do changes in U.S. anti-bribery law enforcement affect business perception?

The discussion highlights concerns about President Trump's desire to reduce enforcement of existing anti-bribery laws, based on his argument that these laws make the U.S. a less attractive place to do business. The president's position suggests that companies avoid doing business with the United States because bribery isn't permitted. This perspective raises significant questions about the U.S. business environment and ethical standards in international commerce. As Bill Cohen describes it, such changes could potentially create a 'free for all' situation, where regulatory oversight is diminished in favor of attracting business, regardless of ethical considerations.
