US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says the Trump administration is working to “dismantle the [International Criminal Court] brick by brick”, throwing down a public gauntlet to the court that issued an arrest warrant in 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"Using all the tools at our government’s disposal, working beside every ally with whom we can make common cause, we will dismantle the ICC - brick by brick, if necessary," he said.

Maybe stop committing crimes and the ICC won't bother you.

I don't think it's possible for people like this guy to stop committing crimes

Call me a cynic, but when the Saudis gave Jared Kushner $2 billion to play investment fund manager I assumed uncle Don gave them a bunch of nuclear secrets in exchange.

He didn't steal boxes of state secrets and store them in a bathroom for no reason.

What a horrible idea. Did Rubio violate international law?
