Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

     Trump's take on the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is significant, I think, for a number of reasons. Trump did not obey good laws. How likely was he to obey "horrible" laws? Moreover, it goes to show how he would do business as a politician himself. He understood the Pay-to-Play model, and with his new role as a government official, it would be more likely for him to be the recipient of official bribes. But these are all assumptions.
     Trump owns (or has licensed his name to) properties around the world, including golf courses in Ireland, Scotland and Dubai. The United Kingdom is also very strict when it comes to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, so I would not expect too much bribery and graft there. In Dubai?
     Trump owns (or more likely has licensed and perhaps has management agreements) for hotel properties in Canada, Turkey, Panama, South Korea, United Arab Emirates and India. Then, there's the Trump property in Baku, Azerbaijan:

Trump’s business has also come under public scrutiny regarding the FCPA. The New Yorker reported on March 6 that the Trump Organization had helped build a hotel in Azerbaijan owned by the family of a cabinet minister with ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the US government has accused of money-laundering and terrorism. Though it’s not clear if the deal itself violated the FCPA, in order to avoid breaking the law, US companies usually extensively investigate potential partners for corruption. One lawyer told the New Yorker, “I’ve had very few clients do so little due diligence” as the Trump Organization did.

     We lack any evidence to claim that there are criminal violations associated with these properties, but warning flags are waving furiously.
