Trump Administration Prepares Sanctions Against International Criminal Court
The Trump administration has prepared sanctions against the entire International Criminal Court (ICC) and plans to announce them soon, according to government sources cited by Reuters and The Wall Street Journal. While previous measures targeted individual judges and prosecutors, these new actions aim at the court itself, potentially unveiled during the UN General Assembly. Secretary of State Rubio previously vowed to dismantle the ICC "stone by stone," citing the arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and investigations into US troops in Afghanistan as key motivations. The US does not recognize the ICC and refuses to extradite its citizens, a stance shared by China, Russia, India, and Israel.
