US National Security Advisor John Kirby stated during a news briefing on Tuesday that the White House does not view sanctions against the ICC as the appropriate course of action.
Antony Blinken expressed openness to collaborating with Congress on bipartisan sanctions against the ICC during his testimony before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee last week.
Blinken indicated that the extent of cooperation would depend on the legislation Congress puts forward.
US Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, in a recent news conference, highlighted Congress’s ongoing review of legislative options to promptly impose sanctions on the ICC.
He emphasized the need for America to penalize the ICC and assertively address the actions of Karem Khan.
