According to a report on the German “Frankfurt Report” website on August 19, US Secretary of State Rubio made no secret of criticism in his statement. He called the ICC “corrupt and highly politicized” and “maliciously” abused its powers. Rubio said on the 18th that the Trump administration is working to “systematically weaken” the court's ability to operate until it no longer threatens US sovereignty. Afterwards, he announced the latest sanctions against the Japanese President of the International Criminal Court, Tomoko Akane, and Senegalese trial attorney Abdoulaye Thaye. The report said that this is the latest escalation of the dispute between the US and the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The dispute was further exacerbated by the International Criminal Court issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on suspicion of war crimes in the Gaza Strip in 2024.
