The U.S. has sanctioned ICC staff and plans additional sanctions,potentially blocking the tribunal from using U.S. financial systems.Trump emphasized U.S. opposition to any investigation of its service members and called for global nations to leave the ICC. He also criticized broader international organizations like the UN Human Rights Council, accusing them of hypocrisy and bias, especially regarding free speech and immigration issues. Trump highlighted that U.S. reforms have reduced the UN\u2019s budget and staff, and he condemned plans for a global carbon tax, asserting no global taxes will be accepted under his governance. He criticized globalist entities promoting mass migration and claimed that reforms have strengthened U.S. sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of protecting national independence.

Trump has consistently opposed ICC-issued warrants. In the months leading up to the UN meeting, the U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbs.org\/newshour\/world\/as-trump-squeezes-the-international-criminal-court-more-countries-are-leaving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sanctioned<\/a> numerous members of the ICC\u2019s staff in response to the Israeli arrest warrants, and is reportedly planning a more extensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/policy\/trump-administration-prepares-to-sanction-the-international-criminal-court-85f5f44c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sanctions package<\/a>, according to The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n<div id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-2340022202\" class=\"d-flex justify-content-center fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2 fdrlst__b89e9-entity-placement\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1463670073398-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe United States is equally opposed to the out-of-control institution known as the International Criminal Court. We will never allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us,\u201d Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q5WyknJN3qY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a>. \u201cThey\u2019re an evil group of people. I call on all nations that are members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump did not mention Netanyahu by name in his speech, only mentioning the ICC\u2019s lack of jurisdiction over the U.S., which has never recognized the ICC. Israel is also not a member country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secretary of State Marco Rubio in July <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/releases\/office-of-the-spokesperson\/2026\/07\/state-department-launches-campaign-to-dismantle-international-criminal-courts-threat-to-american-sovereignty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> that the U.S. would launch a \u201csweeping campaign to dismantle the threat posed by the International Criminal Court to U.S. sovereignty,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/policy\/trump-administration-prepares-to-sanction-the-international-criminal-court-85f5f44c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stating<\/a> it would do so \u201cbrick by brick\u201d if that is what it took.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Wall Street Journal reported that the new sanctions package could include blocking the ICC \u201cfrom conducting transactions in U.S. dollars,\u201d which would render it incapable of accessing \u201cmuch of the global financial system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump criticized a wider array of globalist institutional enterprises as well, such as the UN Human Rights Council, which consistently ignores \u201cgenuine atrocities in the world,\u201d while \u201ccriticizing the United States for protecting our children from transgender mutilation and transgender insanity, and enforcing our immigration laws,\u201d Trump told the UN.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe craven hypocrites of Human Rights Council have little to say about the persecution of Christians,\u201d he added, \u201cYet they want America to open up our borders to gangs and criminals from world\u2019s most dangerous places. They want the worst people to come in from the worst places on earth, and we don\u2019t do it anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump mentioned that it is \u201cdeeply ironic\u201d that the UN simultaneously has the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), which is \u201cdevoted to protecting cultural heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYet, with their ceaseless promotion of mass migration, these globalists are actively destroying the greatest cultures and most extraordinary heritage in all of history,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation, and we want to remain a sovereign nation, and so should you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Trump, American-initiated reforms at the UN have cut the budget by 15 percent and cut over 4,000 bureaucrats from its staff. U.S. intervention also stopped the UN\u2019s International Maritime Organization from \u201csecretly\u201d creating a global carbon tax \u2014 a tax Trump said would increase global shipping costs by 10 to 20 percent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnd while I\u2019m president, there will be no global taxes,\u201d Trump said. \u201cThe United Nations has great, great potential \u2014 I\u2019ve said that for many years \u2014 but it must stop imposing the far-left agenda of globalist bureaucrats who nobody ever elected.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<div class=\"article-author-description fst-italic\">      Breccan F.
