The Trump administration has launched a campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court's perceived threat to US sovereignty, a Reuters report says. A State Department official stated that options under consideration include entry bans, visa cancellations, expanded sanctions, and pressuring other countries to leave the ICC.
The Trump administration has opened a campaign to dismantle what it calls the 'threat to US sovereignty' from the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, according to a Reuters report cited by Israeli media. The report, quoting a US State Department official, said a wide range of options are being weighed, including entry bans, visa cancellations, expanded sanctions against the ICC and affiliated organizations, and pressure on other countries to withdraw from the court. As The Zioneer reported in its initial coverage of this development, the administration has signaled its hostility to the ICC. The move follows years of tension between Washington and The Hague, particularly after the ICC launched investigations into US personnel and Israeli actions. The State Department official declined to specify which measures would be adopted first, stating that 'all options are on the table.' The exact timeline for implementation remains unclear.
