Trump Administration Prepares to Sanction the International Criminal Court, WSJ Reports
The proposed measures would block most transactions with the court after a six- to seven-month grace period, according to the Wall Street Journal.
- The Trump administration is preparing to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, with measures forbidding most transactions after a grace period of six to seven months.
- Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant received ICC arrest warrants in 2024 over alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, prompting this wider sanctions campaign by the Trump administration.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in July the administration would dismantle the court "brick by brick" if necessary. Washington has already sanctioned former chief prosecutor Karim Khan and ICC president Tomoko Akane.
- Officials said measures could be finalized this week during the United Nations General Assembly. The European Union has considered activating its Blocking Statute to shield European businesses from United States sanctions.
- Rubio argued that the ICC's pursuit of non-member officials creates a dangerous precedent for the United States. Neither the United States nor Israel belongs to the ICC, though Japan and European governments have pledged protection.
