How odd that Trump is also illegally "suspending" the laws Congress passed against international bribery.

That was my first thought as well. If there's a US law against bribes, companies can, when a bribe is asked for or hinted at, just say they can't. Saves money, except if maybe you've issued your own cryptocurrency, and are possibly wanting to be bribed.
