After Donald Trump imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), 79 countries issued a joint statement denouncing the move.

What Does the Statement Say?

  • The U.S. is "undermining the rule of law" by imposing financial sanctions and visa restrictions on ICC officials.
  • Washington's actions are unacceptable under international law.
  • The signatory nations demand the repeal of the sanctions and protection of the ICC’s independence.

Who Signed the Statement?

The statement was backed by European, Latin American, African, and Asian nations, including:

  • France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom
  • Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Chile
  • South Africa, Nigeria, Senegal
  • Jordan, Palestine, Bangladesh

Why Does This Matter?

  • The U.S. has effectively declared war on international jurisdiction, refusing to recognize ICC rulings.
  • A deepening conflict between the U.S. and the global community could escalate amid ongoing international crises.
  • This move may strain Washington’s diplomatic relations with allies.

The situation remains tense, as world leaders await the White House’s response.
