How the ICC can be saved

All Trump’s overseas assets should be frozen. Hotels. Golf courses. Offshore accounts. Should not be permitted to enter the territories of the countries that are parties to ICC.

The Senator is correct. And to illustrate the consequences: Europe will have to make sure that there are EU alternatives to Visa, to Microsoft etc. Trump consciously hurts the US to enable crimes.

USA is governed by Scum. 1 in 3 Americans approve of them. USA is treating Europe and NATO in the manner that it has interfered in Asia, Africa, Latin America. Now throwing Ukraine at Putin’s feet. Trump not fit to lick Zelensky’s boots.
