US Foreign Agents Registration Act

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) is a United States law that requires individuals or entities representing foreign interests to register with the Department of Justice and disclose their relationship, activities, and financial compensation. FARA does not prohibit lobbying for foreign interests, but rather aims to promote transparency regarding foreign influence over American public opinion, policy, and laws. The law has been enforced with greater regularity since 2017, particularly against officials connected to the Trump administration, and has led to high-profile indictments and convictions, prompting calls for reform.learn more on wikipedia
