US President Donald Trump has publicly ridiculed the possibility of an arrest warrant being issued against him by the International Criminal Court (ICC), adding a layer of political friction to the already strained relationship between Washington and the judicial body.
The remarks come as the US government continues to intensify its criticism of the court, signaling a sustained diplomatic and legal offensive against the institution.
According to reports from Maliactu and La Nouvelle Tribune, the president's comments were made in the context of broader tensions surrounding the ICC's operations.
The administration has renewed its sharp critique of the court, framing its actions as politically motivated and lacking legitimacy.
This stance aligns with previous US efforts to isolate the ICC, including threats of sanctions and funding cuts.
The development adds to the growing uncertainty surrounding the ICC's ability to function effectively in the face of US opposition.
