Trump administration announces campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court

On July 13, 2026, the Trump administration announced a whole-of-government campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC), with Secretary of State Marco Rubio publishing an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal and releasing a video statement. The State Department outlined potential tools including travel bans, visa revocations, increased sanctions against ICC officials, and diplomatic pressure on allied nations to withdraw from the court. The administration cited ongoing ICC investigations into U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan and the court's arrest warrants against Israeli officials as key grievances.
