Trump Imposes Sanctions on ICC, Citing Cases Involving Americans and Israeli Officials
US President Donald Trump has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court, accusing it of overreaching in cases involving Americans and Israeli officials. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the measures would restrict transactions with the court and could affect services such as banking, insurance and software. The US Treasury, however, issued limited licences for telecommunications, software, pension payments and detainee-related transactions. The ICC said the sanctions would not stop its investigations or prosecutions. The move is expected to deepen tensions between Washington and several European allies that are members of the court.
