What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

The Trump administration imposed sweeping new sanctions on the International Criminal Court as part of a campaign to dismantle the tribunal. These sanctions block the ICC's assets and prohibit US individuals and companies from doing business with the court. US banks, insurers, and IT firms cannot supply the ICC with goods or services without risking penalties.
