Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The agreement between Oxtron and Dunka to fix prices on their major products may violate U.S. antitrust law even though the agreement was made in Germany. Antitrust laws apply to U.S. companies and their actions both domestically and internationally. Therefore, if a U.S. company enters into an anticompetitive agreement with a foreign company, it may still be subject to U.S. antitrust enforcement.
