💢 The Trump administration is preparing sweeping sanctions against the International Criminal Court that could cut it off from US-dollar transactions and much of the global financial system, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The measures would go far beyond existing sanctions on individual ICC officials, banning most transactions with the court after a six-to-seven-month grace period.

The move follows ICC arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant over Gaza. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has vowed to dismantle the court “brick by brick.” A decision could come as soon as this week around the UN General Assembly.
