U.S. Senator Calls on ICC Members to Sanction Trump, Rubio

U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen has called on European countries and other members of the International Criminal Court to sanction President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio over their actions against the court.

In a post on X early Tuesday, Sept. 22, Van Hollen said European countries and other ICC members should sanction Trump and Rubio if they have “any self-respect,” accusing them of obstructing the court’s investigations into alleged war crimes in Gaza and its case involving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

His remarks came after reports that the Trump administration is preparing sweeping sanctions against the ICC itself. The proposed measures could restrict most transactions with the court and further limit its access to the global financial system.
