Trump Administration Prepares Sanctions Against Entire International Criminal Court in The Hague
The Trump administration is preparing comprehensive sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, with measures already drafted and expected to be announced soon. US officials seek to isolate the tribunal by demanding it withdraw arrest warrants for Israeli leaders and halt investigations into US troops in Afghanistan. These sanctions would prohibit American citizens and companies from providing funds or services to the ICC without special permission, potentially disrupting personnel payments and IT operations. Foreign Secretary Marco Rubio previously launched a campaign to encourage other nations to withdraw from the court. The decision may be finalized during the UN General Assembly meeting this week.
