Special Edition on Is the US Going Socialist

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest-running podcast in compliance. In this episode, we discuss President Trump’s review of other interests in US business and its implications for compliance. The panel explores the evolving landscape of government involvement in major U.S. corporations and the resulting compliance and anti-corruption risks. With recent actions by the Trump administration to acquire stakes or exert control over companies like US Steel and Intel, the discussion centers on the implications for FCPA enforcement, the definition of “instrumentality,” and the challenges facing compliance professionals as the boundaries between public and private sectors blur. The episode also examines international perspectives, potential conflicts of interest, and the impact on global business relationships. Key highlights: Introduction: Are We Becoming Socialist?
