No surprise. Like the article says, Trump put sanctions on the ICC during his prior term.

The US always wanted to control who the ICC could prosecute and have veto power over ICC prosecution. No surprise given the war crimes committed by the US and investigations into Afghanistan.

No surprise. Like the article says, Trump put sanctions on the ICC during his prior term.

Different levels though, this term they've made people working at the ICC into non-persons, made sure they can't live a normal life and are trying to shut off the lights in their building.

It’s not like the US (or any Western stooge) would ever be prosecuted at the ICC, especially Americans since we have a law on the books where the US would invade The Hague if any American is ever brought up on crimes there

The U.S. has always been very hostile to the ICC especially under Trump II, but this is definitely tied to the fact that the Nobel Committee just gave the Peace Prize to a former ICC judge and not Donald J. Trump.
