nur.kz (Russian)

President Donald Trump, addressing the UN General Assembly, called the International Criminal Court an out-of-control organization and urged all member countries to withdraw from it. Trump stated the US would never allow its military personnel to face investigations or "show trials" from what he called an anti-American tribunal lacking jurisdiction over Washington. He described the ICC's composition as an "evil group of people" and formally appealed to member states to leave. The remarks follow the ICC's 2024 arrest warrant for Israel's prime minister, US sanctions imposed by Trump in 2025, and recent turmoil at the court, including the dismissal of its chief prosecutor over misconduct allegations.
