Trump administration issued ultimatum to ICC: Report

The Trump administration has issued a stark ultimatum to the International Criminal Court (ICC), threatening new sanctions if the court does not amend its foundational treaty. Washington is demanding the court be unable to investigate President Trump and his senior officials, while also insisting it abandon probes into Israeli politicians and potential US war crimes in Afghanistan. If the ICC does not comply, the US has warned it could face crippling sanctions against its staff and the court itself. This pressure campaign follows a recent meeting where the ICC's oversight body already rejected American demands to drop its investigation into Israeli war crimes.
