Marco Rubio has unveiled a plan to dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing it of posing “an intolerable threat to US sovereignty”.

The Trump administration said it would pressure other countries to withdraw from the court, marking a sharp escalation in efforts to isolate the Hague-based institution and starve it of political and financial support.

“The ICC and its friends are waging a war against our country, not with bullets or missiles, but with statutes, compacts and the force of so-called international law,” the US secretary of state said in a video statement.

The state department said the campaign would “systematically disable the ICC’s ability to operate, target American servicemen or officials, or otherwise threaten American sovereignty”. » | Telegraph’s Foreign Staff | Tuesday, July 14, 2026

What an AH! As I have said several times before, Rubio is not to be trusted. He is nothing but a snake-in-the-grass. — © Mark Alexander
