US Vows to Dismantle International Criminal Court

In July 2026, the Trump administration said it would work to dismantle the International Criminal Court. Marco Rubio, a member of the administration, said the court should be taken apart "brick by brick" and called it an intolerable threat to US sovereignty.

Separately, Rubio is described in several outlets as directing US policy toward Venezuela from a distance, including contact with Caracas. The reports tie his role in Venezuela policy to his push against the court.
