To be clear, the "menace" Trump is railing against was the single most important anti-corruption reform in decades. The "invasive" rule merely asked the owners of shell companies to divulge their identities to the Treasury Dept.
There it is: Trump announces the US will not be enforcing its new shell company registry, which is the single-best tool to counter kleptocracy.
