Trump escalates clash with The Hague: US imposes sanctions on International Criminal Court

Wait 5 sec.

The Trump administration imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Friday, just hours after Navi Pillay, a former judge at The Hague, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, Reuters reported.Unlike previous sanctions targeting individual judges and prosecutors, the new measures target the court itself and could affect its operations and companies providing services to it. The decision is expected to heighten diplomatic tensions between Washington and its European allies.
