In a controversial decision, the Trump administration has imposed unprecedented sanctions on four judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC). This move comes in response to their efforts to investigate alleged war crimes involving Israeli and American officials. Lawmakers, including Marco Rubio, have supported the sanctions, arguing that the ICC is unfairly targeting the US and its allies. The ICC has condemned these sanctions, accusing Washington of trying to undermine its independence. Additionally, Microsoft has clarified that it has not suspended services to the ICC amidst this tension, highlighting the broader implications of US actions on international institutions.
