Trump administration launches effort to isolate International Criminal Court

The Trump administration is stepping up its campaign to distance the United States from the International Criminal Court (ICC), arguing that the court threatens U.S. sovereignty. Officials, including President Trump and former President George W. Bush, oppose the ICC's ability to investigate and prosecute Americans, particularly military personnel. This move is part of a broader strategy to protect U.S. citizens and military from international legal scrutiny, reflecting a shift in how the U.S. views its obligations under international law. The implications could reshape international relations and the global legal landscape, highlighting the U.S.'s stance on national sovereignty versus international cooperation.
