Trump Administration Plans Broad Sanctions Against International Criminal Court
The Trump administration is preparing to impose broad sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), escalating its campaign against the tribunal. These measures could restrict financial transactions with the ICC, potentially hindering its operations. The US opposes the court's investigations into Israeli leaders and American troops in Afghanistan. While previous sanctions targeted individual ICC officials, the new sanctions would apply to the entire court and cooperating entities. The announcement may occur during the United Nations General Assembly meeting.
