Ban on Compensation for Foreign Adversary Agents and Lobbyists

New rules aim to prohibit individuals from accepting payment for acting as agents or lobbyists for foreign countries deemed adversaries of the United States. This means that individuals representing the interests of such entities will not be able to receive money for these activities, and violations will result in significant financial penalties. The goal is to protect national security and the integrity of political processes.
Key points
Prohibits accepting compensation for representing the interests of foreign countries or entities considered adversaries of the U.S.
Introduces financial penalties, including repayment of received compensation and an additional fine, for violating the prohibition.
