Trump Says US Campaign Against ICC Seeks to Protect Netanyahu, Not Himself
President Donald Trump stated that the US campaign against the International Criminal Court (ICC) aims to protect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others from prosecution, not himself. Speaking after Secretary of State Marco Rubio's briefing at Camp David, Trump said there is no current indication the ICC is targeting him. Rubio highlighted risks faced by US military personnel, who could face future legal actions. The ICC, established in 2002, prosecutes war crimes when national courts are unwilling or unable, though the US is not a member.
