US Sanctions Target the International Criminal Court
The US has announced new sanctions on the International Criminal Court, according to Deutsche Welle. The report frames it as the latest in a series of steps by the Trump administration as it seeks to dismantle the intergovernmental organization. That is the stated aim as the outlet describes it — a campaign, not a one-off measure.

Context
Deutsche Welle characterizes this as the latest in a series of steps rather than an isolated action, which matters for reading the announcement as part of a pattern.
Take
Sanctioning a court the US isn't a member of is a strange lever, but the report is explicit about the stated goal: dismantling the institution, not reforming it.
