The Spin

Narrative A

The ICC's actions represent illegitimate and baseless targeting of America and its allies, setting a dangerous precedent that threatens US sovereignty and undermines critical national security interests. The Court has no jurisdiction over the US or Israel, as both are thriving democracies with robust judicial systems that strictly adhere to the laws of war.

New York PostDaily Mail

Narrative B

The sanctions attack international justice and accountability, conveying that certain nations are above the law. The ICC performs a vital role in investigating crimes under international law, often committed by influential individuals who would otherwise benefit from perpetual impunity. Trump's order could rapidly undermine the Court's operations in all situations and cases, potentially jeopardizing its existence.
