> The Trump administration has imposed sweeping sanctions on the ICC, including barring US entities from transactions with the court, saying the aim is to restrict its resources and operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the measures defend US sovereignty and accused the court of seeking to prosecute Americans. The ICC called the sanctions an assault on the rule of law and said it would not be deterred.
