What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Marco Rubio imposed US sanctions on International Criminal Court officials on October 9, banning transactions with the court and imposing legal, financial, and travel restrictions. Marco Rubio called the International Criminal Court a "rogue court". Separately, Donald Trump declared war on Iran on October 10. The sanctions followed the ICC's investigation into war crimes committed by US troops in Afghanistan and the genocide in Palestine.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The US sanctions directly restrict the International Criminal Court's resources and operational funding. These actions, combined with the declaration of war on Iran, introduce massive costs and instability into the national economy. The sanctions also prevent US businesses from providing services to the ICC.
