Trump tells countries to quit ICC. Few follow his lead
Washington is preparing sanctions that could undercut the court’s operations as 125 member states face pressure to abandon it, officials said.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump urged nations to leave the International Criminal Court, calling the Hague-based body "evil" and "a rogue institution," but European leaders rejected the call and affirmed their support.
- Washington launched this campaign to protect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants regarding the Gaza war, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio vowing to "dismantle the ICC."
- The United States imposed financial sanctions and visa bans on court staff per Statement 14, while Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi noted Japan's commitment to the rule of law and Japan dispatched officials to The Hague to support ICC President Tomoko Akane.
- EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated the bloc had defensive tools, saying "We have the tools in our toolbox when it gets really serious, how to defend ICC," as Netherlands Prime Minister Rob Jetten warned the court is "under attack."
- While Naoero President David Adeang announced plans to withdraw from the Rome Statute, 125 countries remain parties to the court; analyst Brian Finucane said broad international investment limits Washington's campaign impact.
