Trump says US campaign against ICC is aimed at protecting Netanyahu, others
Trump linked the US push against the ICC to efforts to protect Netanyahu, while Rubio said American service members could also be at risk.
US President Donald Trump stated on Friday that the American campaign against the International Criminal Court (ICC) is primarily aimed at protecting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others from prosecution, rather than himself. Trump clarified, "There's no information that they're after me," adding that Secretary of State Marco Rubio "is not trying to defend me. He's trying to defend Bibi and various other people." This campaign follows the ICC's issuance of an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for alleged war crimes. The US, not an ICC member, opposes the court's jurisdiction over non-member nationals for crimes committed in member states, citing concerns about potential prosecution of US service members.
