Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the Trump administration’s new effort to isolate the International Criminal Court, accusing it of undermining U.S. sovereignty.
President Donald Trump has had a negative view of the ICC since his first term and has intensified efforts to strip it of authority in his second term. Rubio outlined the latest effort to cripple the body on Monday in a video address, beginning with a painting of the organization as a malicious force in the world. He warned that “powerful people in faraway places” were trying to wrestle control of U.S. citizens’ lives.
