US Prepares Broad Sanctions on International Criminal Court Amid Ongoing Disputes
The Trump administration is preparing broad sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC), potentially restricting its financial transactions and access to US dollars. This move escalates previous sanctions targeting individual ICC officials amid disputes over investigations into Israeli leaders and US troops in Afghanistan. The sanctions could be announced during the United Nations General Assembly meeting. While the US aims to isolate the ICC, major supporters like European countries and Japan continue backing the court's work.
