Ilhan Omar renews push for US to join ICC amid Trump pressure

US Representative Ilhan Omar has introduced a resolution urging the United States to join the International Criminal Court (ICC) by ratifying the Rome Statute, countering President Donald Trump's administration efforts to 'dismantle' the court. This follows comments from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who vowed to take all necessary actions to weaken the ICC. Omar argues that joining the ICC would reinforce global rule of law and set an example for other nations. The Trump administration has criticized the ICC for investigating US and Israeli personnel, despite neither country being a signatory to the Rome Statute. The ICC has issued arrest warrants against Israeli officials for alleged war crimes in Gaza and has investigated potential US war crimes in Afghanistan.
