US Imposes Sweeping Sanctions on International Criminal Court
The Trump administration has announced sweeping sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC), aiming to restrict its resources and operational capabilities. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the measures are designed to defend American sovereignty and prevent the prosecution of US citizens. The ICC condemned the decision as a direct assault on the rule of law and the international legal order. The move follows recent tensions over the court's investigations into US and allied actions, as well as President Trump's criticism of the international legal body.
