Increased Transparency in Foreign Lobbying: Disclosing Influence
New rules require lobbying firms in the U.S. to disclose if foreign governments or political parties direct their activities. This aims to increase transparency and public awareness about who truly influences political decisions in the country. Citizens will be better able to assess whose interests are being represented in the legislative process.
Key points
Lobbying firms must disclose the names and addresses of foreign governments or political parties that control their activities, even if they are not direct clients.
The change aims to increase openness regarding foreign influence on U.S. politics, allowing citizens to better understand the sources of legislative pressure.
