Trump Administration Sanctions Top ICC Officials

The US administration has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) president Tomoko Akane and a senior prosecutor in a move to challenge the court's authority.

The sanctions include asset freezes and travel bans, marking a significant escalation in the diplomatic row between Washington and the Hague-based tribunal.

The ICC condemned the move as an attempt to undermine the rule of law, while the US maintains that the court's actions infringe upon national sovereignty.
