Trump will impose sanctions on ICC, report says

US President-elect Donald Trump plans to impose devastating sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague immediately after taking office, Israel Hayom newspaper reported citing informed sources.
Trump will impose sanctions on ICC, report says
 “The administration intends to classify the ICC as an organisation threatening US interests, employing designation procedures similar to those used by the State Department for terrorist organisations globally. This designation will trigger severe restrictions on anyone involved with the court’s operations,” it added.
 
According to the paper, the restrictions aim to force the court to withdraw the arrest warrants issued against Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and former Defence Minister, Yoav Gallant.
 
The incoming administration considers the ICC’s arrest warrants a direct threat to US national security and fear these actions ultimately seek “to strip the US and its allies of their ability to mount military defences against global threats.”
 
Officials also fear the US could face similar warrants.
