The Trump administration has imposed sweeping new sanctions on the International Criminal Court in an effort to dismantle the tribunal that President Trump, Secretary Rubio and congress believes has become politicized and attempted to unfairly and illegally prosecute Americans and Israelis on war crimes charges.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the sanctions Friday, after the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to South African prosecutor Navi Pillay, a former judge at the ICC and other international courts. The ICC is based in the Netherlands, an EU and NATO member. Secretary Rubio made the announcement:
(VIA MSM) – […] US sanctions typically bar all US-based companies from any work with a sanctioned organization, forcing banks to shut accounts, insurers to end coverage and software companies to halt cooperation.
The Trump administration previously imposed targeted sanctions on court officials during his first term, which were rescinded under President Joe Biden. Washington announced new sanctions just days after Trump returned to office in January 2025.
[…] Court officials have been preparing for months for the prospect of sanctions on the court itself, shifting office computers from Microsoft software to open source equivalents and making new arrangements for banking and health insurance.
The court’s registrar Osvaldo Zavala Giler called earlier this week for the EU to be prepared to use a so-called “blocking mechanism” that lets it shield European countries from the extra-territorial effects of sanctions.
In his statement, Rubio said the United States had delayed its sanctions hoping that the ICC and the countries party to its founding Rome Statute would address US concerns, but they had failed to do so.
“Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC. We expect our allies, many of whom are part of the ICC and that rely on American servicemembers for their defense, to rein in the court,” Rubio said. (read more)
I wouldn’t be shocked to see many of our “allies” stand with the ICC. Going to fun if they do!
Now, get us out of the UN and the UN out of America 😈😈😈😈😈
The old John Birch society got a lot of things right.
I remember them from when I was a teenager. My parents thought they were nuts and told me so.
Of course, I believed them. But I woke up in my 20’s and then knew they were right as rain.
“Allies” in this context should always be in scare quotes.
A couple of pretty meaningful EUnuchs/NATO spankings from PDT today. Freeze the assets that feed the 100% political ICC and a direct energy agreement with Russia that undermines the city of London’s power related to energy. Priceless
Good trajectory.
Trump is the GOAT
Particularly Israel.
All predictable and now easier to see unfolding in real-time now that the MAGA effect is forcing them to show their hand.
ICC didn’t go after plandemic war crimes so they are worthless and untrustworthy.
I prefer “crimes against humanity” but your point stands.
They were in favor of those war crimes.
Pretty sure the ICC was organized solely to prosecute impediments to the consolidation of a one world government under globohomo.
Always was a snake.
It is a new world order globalist court created to administer their brand of “justice”.
What ability ti enforce their pronouncements do they have? None as of now. Ignore the tantrum.
Nor after the IRGC and Mullah ghouls.
Good! Cut off the head of the snakes! Good vs. Evil
GOD WINS✝️🙏
“Piece by piece”, as the great Secretary of State Rubio announced.
Be it on their heads…the ICC have been warned.
(Christ won the Victory on the Third Day….Evil does not yet know that it is defeated.)
I believe the Holy Bible states that the the Evil knows their eventual defeat, yet continues regardless, even knowing that their time is short. Pure EVIL! Just like dumbocrats and RINOs.
Trouble is it’s a Hydra not any old snake.
Book’em Dano!
Would be neat if he could do it to the American Barfare Association.
Secretary Rubio said that DemonCrats and RepubliCons BOTH agree on this.
Of course that was before Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Within 24 hours both wings of the UniParty bird will still be in agreement-against President Trump.
By the end of next week some Communist federal judge will rule that President Trump has no authority to sanction a rogue fake globalist court.
And President Trump will work around the traitorous cretins and serve up yet another win.
God bless President Trump!
Errr…when Rubio speaks of EU “Allies” I think he missed the memo that they’ve taken up the “Axis” position.
No Ally of mine, nor of the US. What was ain’t what is.
Absolutely!
And what was may not have been what it seemed.
Rubio is still doing “Statecraft.”
Only if you are fully shutting down comunications and realtions could you do that kind of thing.
Keep waiting.
Fantastic!
Jack Smith spent a few years working for the ICC in the Hague. Sounds like they were a perfect match for each other.
Waiting for someone to mention that little fact. Tie him into the ICC, and be sure to mention how
he was, basically, shaking down certain countries. Even had some people framed and jailed.
Believe what he did during his ICC tenure had something to do with why he was picked to go
after Trump. The big boys knew he was damaged goods. HIs way of dealing went along with
their way of doing things. And, most importantly, they had him by the short hairs if he got out
of line.
The door is open to the ICC. Now turn on the lights a bit and let Jack Smith be exposed for his
past deeds.
Worked for the ICC from 2008 to 2010. An international hit man, brought in to put Trump in jail.
I didn’t know they gave the Peace Prize to someone else.
Trump should start his own Peace Prize and give it to himself.
Put a statue on the National Mall.
Can’t a well placed virus wipe off the whole darn illegal thing? Can’t be that hard, can it?
What has South African prosecutor Navi Pillay done for peace in South Africa and Africa over the past 50 years?
From the time Mandela became president till now over 750 000 have been murdered in South Africa alone.
There have been numerous wars in Africa with many times the numbers killed than in the Gaza -Israel conflict.
This is a purely poitical award and has not been given for the achievement of actual peace in any serious conflict.
Infuriating! How many wars has President Trump helped to end? He’s worked 24/7 to end the Russian war. If Trump was a Democrat the libs would worship him.
Anything the humans don’t recognize Trump for God will.
As always, leftists destroy things ~ you will know these demon possessed persons by the results of their work.
All of Europe, regarding “healthy” international relations, has been trash since the late 19th Century. Eastern European countries and the Baltic states seem to have gotten their mind right in recent years; they gotta keep on it.
This is GREAT NEWS!! I am so happy it’s 2026 and Donald J Trump is my President! End Globalism. We are entering a new Sovereign Alliance Age that i am just blessed to be alive to witness.
Yes, threatening to go after our President for defending our own borders, what do they expect…a bidum do nothing response?
They are not paying attention or believe they are bigger than anyone else.
Their reaction to assertion of national sovereignty is as a vampire recoiling from a cross.
💯💯💯 R F 🎯
Which one of our fearless leaders ever agreed to give ICC money in the first place?
Seems Never Again has been Again and Again over and over regardless
Can’t trust our own judges much less theirs
Nice. One step closer to exiting NATO.
These EU slugs are counting the days until the next Dummiecrat is in the WH.
Obama has already made the rounds promising they will reverse all Trump policies and sanctions.
Disgraceful.
The demented International Criminal Court, approved by leftists everywhere, has also gone hard after former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, and is slow walking him down the plank. Mr. Duterte, like our President Trump, is BY FAR their best President in modern times! The completely corrupt leftist Marcos family and friends has stolen another election to power, and is completely fleecing the country to benefit the top 2%, while keeping 95% of the population poor and uneducated, just as our Demon-o-rat party does.
Judgement Day will surely catch-up to the leftists and fake conservatives! Praise God Almighty!
Israel committing war crimes? who knew….
next up at 11. Dog bites man.
This has been a long time in coming. Who the heck do they think they are? Another entity captured by the globalists thinking they can interfere in America.
