Trump Threatens New Sanctions That Could Paralyze International Criminal Court
US President Donald Trump threatens new sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, potentially crippling its operations due to anger over arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and investigations into US soldiers in Afghanistan. Dutch politicians and officials express concern that these measures, which already hinder individual staff, could effectively shut down the court if expanded. The Hague mayor vows to support ICC employees, while some lawmakers urge the government to enact blocking statutes to ignore US sanctions and defend international justice.
