WATCH: U.S. President Donald Trump calls on all member states to leave the International Criminal Court, branding it a “rogue institution” run by an “evil group of people.”
“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,” Trump told the UN General Assembly.
The Philippines withdrew from the ICC in 2019, but the court retained jurisdiction over alleged crimes committed while the country was still a member.
