Trump admitted the possibility of prosecution by the ICC
On July 31, US President Donald Trump admitted that he could become the target of prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The head of the White House said this on July 31 during a meeting with members of the Cabinet of Ministers of the United States at the Camp David residence.
"There is no information that they are following me. This could have happened," RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
On July 13, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio promised to eliminate the ICC. According to the Secretary of State, the court is waging war against the United States not with bullets or missiles, but with the power of so-called international law. Rubio also accused the ICC of fomenting war against Washington. In turn, Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), Special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries, positively assessed the US intention to take measures against the ICC. He noted that he considers Washington's position to be directed against the extraterritorial application of law and attempts to impose decisions on other states.
