Trump administration deals a blow to international anti-corruption efforts
Months ago, in one of his first official acts as president, Donald Trump approved a measure repealing a requirement that mandated American oil and gas majors disclose how much money they had given to foreign governments. The measure, in essence, would have forced companies like Chevron and ExxonMobil to disclose if they were bribing corrupt, authoritarian governments overseas.
At the time, Trumps move was met with widespread condemnation from pro-transparency groups. For Global Witness, an international NGO, the repeal represented an effort to enable the corruption President Trump told us all he would end, with the decision pos[ing] a grave threat to U.S. national security. A statement from Publish What You Pay, a group of civil society organizations that pushes for financial transparency, described the repeal as a retrogressive step for oil, gas and mining industry transparency and for the global battle against corruption.
The administration, however, paid no mind to those concerns and repealed the regulations anyway.
Since then, things have only gotten worse.
