Does the US government offer any support to US companies that are tempted to engage in bribery overseas (other than attempting to level the playing field, among US companies, by outlawing any of them doing it)?

That sounds potentially very delicate, for a variety of reasons, and interesting.

> Walmart was able to negotiate a lower fine after President Trump, who had previously criticized the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, took office.

Can anyone explain a reason why someone who isn't a cad might not agree with the FCPA (ie. for reasons that aren't "money good, ethics bad")? This isn't a dig at Trump. I just don't understand the law well enough to know how angry I should be.
