Trump Administration Moves to Dismantle International Criminal Court

The Trump administration has launched a campaign against the International Criminal Court, targeting the tribunal's jurisdiction over American officials and military personnel. Washington contends that the ICC poses a direct threat to US national sovereignty and self-governance. The administration plans to deploy diplomatic pressure and potential sanctions as tools to undermine the court's operations. The broader goal is to shield American citizens from prosecution by an international body the US does not recognize as having authority over its nationals.
