nos.nl (Dutch)

President Trump used his UN General Assembly speech to urge all member states to leave the International Criminal Court (ICC), calling it an anti-American tribunal without jurisdiction. The US, which is not an ICC member, has already imposed sanctions on the court over its arrest warrant for Israel's prime minister and an Afghanistan investigation. Trump did not announce new sanctions, though media reported they are prepared. Dutch Foreign Minister Berendsen disapproves of the sanctions, citing the Netherlands' role as ICC host country. Trump also criticized the UN and called for further economic isolation of Iran.
