US administration prepares sanctions against entire International Criminal Court, sources say
The Trump administration has prepared sanctions against the entire International Criminal Court and plans to announce them soon, two sources familiar with the matter said. The move would intensify US pressure on the global tribunal, which prosecutes war crimes and genocide. US officials want the court to drop arrest warrants against Israeli leaders and a past probe into American troops in Afghanistan.
The Trump administration has prepared sanctions against the entire International Criminal Court and plans to announce them soon, two sources familiar with the matter said. The move would step up US pressure on the global tribunal that prosecutes war crimes and genocide worldwide. The sources said the sanctions risk disrupting the court's operations.
The administration has made no secret of its opposition to the court and has worked to undermine it, according to the report. US officials want the court to drop its arrest warrants against Israeli leaders as well as a past investigation into American troops in Afghanistan.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a campaign in July to isolate the court, calling on other countries to withdraw from the tribunal. Washington has imposed sanctions on a number of ICC judges and prosecutors.
