Trump administration sanctions ICC, allies condemn move

The Trump administration has imposed sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) in an effort to dismantle the tribunal due to its investigations into the United States and its allies, such as Israel. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced these sanctions, which aim to cut off the court's access to U.S. financial services and the U.S. dollar, giving companies six months to cease business with the ICC. The ICC condemned the sanctions as an attack on the rule of law, while rights groups and several allied nations, including EU members, Canada, and Japan, expressed strong opposition and pledged to support the court's work.
