Trump Pressures ICC as Hague Politicians Seek Intervention
The Hague is considering an action plan to support International Criminal Court (ICC) staff facing US sanctions, following President Donald Trump's threats to sanction the entire tribunal. Local politicians from parties including Volt, D66, and SP argue that the sanctions impact city residents and damage The Hague's reputation as a city of peace and justice. They urge Mayor Van Zanen and Minister Tom Berendsen to seek international support while assessing risks of further US retaliation against local organizations.
