    Trump Clarifies US Campaign Against ICC: Aimed at Protecting Netanyahu

    US President Donald Trump has repeatedly clarified that the US campaign to dismantle or 'bring to heel' the International Criminal Court (ICC) is not aimed at protecting himself, but rather to defend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others facing ICC scrutiny. Trump made these statements during a cabinet meeting at Camp David, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio had criticized the ICC for claiming jurisdiction over individuals from non-member states. Trump interjected to make Rubio's objective clear, stating, 'He's trying to defend Bibi and various other people.' The US President emphasized that the campaign has nothing to do with protecting him.
