The Trump administration has vowed to bring jobs back to the
states. One of the methods it appears it'll take advantage of
is continued, aggressive enforcement of U.S. laws governing exports
and international conduct.
Up to now, the U.S. government has undertaken a strategy of
aggressively enforcing U.S. laws governing extraterritorial
conduct. These include the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
FCPA), economic sanctions largely administered by the Office of
Foreign Assets Control (
OFAC), and export controls on U.S. goods. These laws underscore
the premium that all multinational companies need to place on
aggressively identifying and managing regulatory risk, particularly
for their international operations.
