Trump Administration Plans Broad Sanctions on International Criminal Court
The Trump administration is preparing broad sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC), potentially announced during the United Nations General Assembly. These measures would target the ICC as an institution, restricting most financial transactions, including those in US dollars, after a grace period. The move escalates US efforts to pressure the court to drop arrest warrants against Israeli leaders and end investigations into US troops in Afghanistan. Sanctions could disrupt ICC operations by limiting access to funds, services, and cooperation from US entities. The US has already sanctioned several ICC officials, while the court and US government have not commented on the pending measures.
