Trump administration says US ‘doesn’t need’ ICC after accusing court of unfairly targeting Americans for war crime charges

The United States imposed sanctions on the international criminal court (ICC), its latest escalation against an entity the Trump administration has accused of politicization and unfairly targeting Americans for war crime charges.

The ICC accused Donald Trump’s officials of attempting to “obstruct the course of justice” after “an assault” on the international legal order.

Just hours after a former ICC judge was awarded the Nobel Peace prize, Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, announced in a video that the US would move to impose financial sanctions.

    I wonder what’ll happen when Trumps term ends and he tries to leave the U.S.

    Unless the U.S. deal with them first.

      The USA will do fuck all to reign in Trump. These fucking spineless cowards had 4 years to do something and sat on their ass. Now they continue to sit on their ass after defending their precious 2nd amendment (which was “needed to protect from government tyranny” and which killed hundreds of school children)

      Don’t expect these people to actually act against evil, they are all busy trying to make enough money to buy the next bullshit they desire to fill their soulless existence
