President Donald Trump's executive order sanctioning the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) is seen as a critical first step in protecting U.S. military and government officials from potential prosecution. Critics argue that the ICC has become a biased political tool and a kangaroo court. The ICC fired back, condemning the U.S. executive order and pledging to continue providing justice. Dozens of countries expressed their support for the ICC, while others, including Hungary, found Trump's sanctions understandable. The move comes after the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a former defense minister.
