The administration\u2019s actions are primarily focused on protecting U.S. businesses and national interests. The order does not signal an end to the DOJ\u2019s enforcement of the FCPA; rather, it may shift the DOJ\u2019s focus toward investigating non-U.S. companies to safeguard U.S. economic interests and national security.<br><br>The U.S. will continue to utilize the FCPA strategically, likely directing its efforts toward non-U.S. entities and individuals. It is also important to note the broad extraterritorial reach of U.S. criminal law, which extends to activities impacting interstate or foreign commerce. As the DOJ adjusts its enforcement priorities, the SEC will continue to retain jurisdiction over foreign bribery cases and may pursue civil actions where the DOJ chooses not to take further action. With regulatory, geopolitical, and technological developments continuing to shape the enforcement landscape, companies\u2014especially those based outside the U.S.\u2014must remain proactive in their compliance efforts. Leveraging technology and expert guidance will be critical to navigating the complexities of U.S. law.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n<footer class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2059708f e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-footer o-footer \" data-id=\"2059708f\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"2059708f\">\n    <div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eabe13d4 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div o-row e-eabe13d4-6cbb \" data-id=\"eabe13d4\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"eabe13d4\">\n    <div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6767b22f e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div o-col e-6767b22f-af74 \" data-id=\"6767b22f\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"6767b22f\">\n    \t\t\t<p class=\"o-footer-text e-f466b387-e6f0 e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"f466b387\">ORIHUELA ATTORNEYS<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"o-footer-text e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"901732c0\">1101 Brickell Ave South, 8th floor<br>Miami, FL 33131, USA<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"o-footer-link e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"59576427\"><a href=\"mailto:sog@orihuelalegal.com\" target=\"_self\" class=\"e-paragraph-link-base e-default-a\">\n\t\tEmail us\n\t<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1daf755d e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div o-col e-1daf755d-cd9b \" data-id=\"1daf755d\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"1daf755d\">\n    \t\t\t<p class=\"o-footer-text e-90ff2d1a-58b7 e-paragraph-base e-default-p\" data-interaction-id=\"90ff2d1a\">The information on this website is for general purposes only and is not legal advice.
