Trump revokes oil & mining anti-bribery law

President Trump's new secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, had personally lobbied against the rule when he was head of the giant oil and gas firm Exxon Mobil. Supporters of the law say it would have increased transparency in resource-rich countries, and so reduced corruption. They are not happy. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Mike Johnson asked Zorka Milin, senior legal adviser for Global Witness in Washington DC, what she made of the move.
