The Foreign Extortion Prevention Act (FEPA) is the “most sweeping and consequential foreign bribery law in nearly half a century” according to Transparency International. By criminalizing corrupt foreign officials’ bribery demands, FEPA will protect American companies operating overseas and deter unfair competition from China’s state-owned enterprises. President Joe Biden signed FEPA into law in December 2023 after Congress included the bipartisan legislation in its annual defense spending bill.

Please join Hudson Institute for a fireside chat with Representative Joe Wilson (R-SC), chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe and a leading cosponsor of FEPA.
