Trump administration says US ‘doesn’t need’ ICC after accusing court of unfairly targeting Americans for war crime charges
The United States imposed sanctions on the international criminal court (ICC), its latest escalation against an entity the Trump administration has accused of politicization and unfairly targeting Americans for war crime charges.
The ICC accused Donald Trump’s officials of attempting to “obstruct the course of justice” after “an assault” on the international legal order.
Just hours after a former ICC judge was awarded the Nobel Peace prize, Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, announced in a video that the US would move to impose financial sanctions.
Israel will be pleased.
Then every member state of the ICC (almost the entire world) should impose sanctions on the US in return. Enough is enough.
“The ICC has never indicted or even issued an arrest warrant for a US citizen”. They have, however, issued warrants for Russian war crimes in Ukraine. All that needs to be said
You think trump is in putins pocket more than netanyahu’s, lmao?
Definitely not just Russians, I somehow deleted the line that listed Netanyahu also. Trump also tends to go with whoever he talked to last, so it just depends who was in his mind when he decided the ICC had to go. His memory is like a goldfish.
I don’t think Kamala would have done anything different. The US is notoriously not a signatory to the ICC and has been bending over backwards for Israel before trump came around.
Nobody said anything about her…
I wonder what’ll happen when Trumps term ends and he tries to leave the U.S.
Unless the U.S. deal with them first.
