Donald Trump drastically represents the United States. The US president has now issued sanctions against the International Criminal Court. New ways must also be taken with regard to Russia.
Trump occupies members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) with sanctions. The head of state signed a corresponding decree on Thursday, the US government said.
In contrast, entries are imposed against ICCHH members involved in investigations against American citizens or allies of the United States. The family members are also affected by the visa embargo. There are also financial sanctions.
The ICC is investigating Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, among others. The court in the Hague in the Netherlands published an arrest warrant against Netanyahu in November 2024 for suspected war crimes in the Gaza war. The United States are a narrow ally of Israel.
The ISTGH “abused his power” by publishing unfounded arrest trips against Netanyahu and his former Minister of Defense YOAV Galant, according to the order of Trump. The Republican accuses the court of “malignant behavior”.
Trump and Netanyahu only met on Tuesday in the White House in Washington. Trump also accuses the court of claiming his responsibility “without a legitimate basis” and initiating preliminary investigation against American staff.
It is not the first time that Trump has punished the Istgh. Already during his first term (2017-21) he signed a corresponding decision because the court had investigated alleged war crimes by American soldiers in Afghanistan.
Trump goes to Russian Oligarchs
New paths must also be followed in dealing with Russia. According to Media reports, the US Minister of Justice Pam Bondi ordered a law enforcement unit of the Ministry to enforce sanctions against Russian oligarchs.
The employees who work in the Task Force “Kleptocapture” must return to their former messages and instead the means used must be used to combat drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations.
This stems from a memorandum signed by Bondi, which according to the media reports became public on Thursday (local time). According to Trump’s instruction, Bondi wants to “complete” drug cartels and transnational criminal organizations according to the document. “This strategy requires a fundamental change in the way of thinking and approaching,” Bondi said in the memo. Accordingly, the Ministry of Geld Money Laundering must also concentrate on activities of drug mafia and criminal organizations.
