KABUL: U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration has prepared a plan to impose broad sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), with the measures expected to be announced soon.
Reuters, citing two people familiar with the matter, reported that the move could further escalate tensions between Washington and the international court, which investigates and prosecutes cases involving war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity.
The United States has previously imposed sanctions on several ICC officials and judges, but broader sanctions against the court would represent a new step by the Trump administration to increase pressure on the institution.
According to Reuters, the exact details of the potential sanctions and the timing of their announcement remain unclear.
