Trump administration prepares to sanction the International Criminal Court, WSJ reports Reuters
First reported 2 hours ago · latest update 48 minutes from now
The Trump administration is preparing to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC). The planned measures would target the court as a whole, and officials expect to announce the sanctions in the near future.
The move marks an escalation in the administration’s criticism of the ICC, which it has repeatedly described as overreaching in its jurisdiction. By sanctioning the tribunal, the United States aims to exert pressure on the court’s operations and its ability to pursue cases.
The International Criminal Court is an independent global tribunal that prosecutes individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. It was established under the Rome Statute and operates in The Hague, Netherlands.
Details of the sanctions have not been disclosed, and the administration has not provided a timeline for implementation beyond the anticipated announcement.
The development follows a pattern of heightened tension between the United States and the ICC, reflecting broader disagreements over the court’s authority and its investigations involving U.S. personnel.
