Foreign Agents Registration Act

The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) is a U.S. law that requires individuals or organizations acting on behalf of foreign entities to disclose their relationships and activities. This includes lobbyists, consultants, and other representatives who promote foreign interests in the U.S. The purpose is to ensure transparency and inform the public and government about foreign influence on American policy and opinion. By registering, these agents provide details about their work and funding sources, helping to prevent hidden foreign influence in domestic affairs.
