Trump says ICC campaign aimed at defending Netanyahu, not himself

CAMP ​DAVID, Maryland: US President Donald Trump said on Friday that a US campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court was intended to defend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others from prosecution, not himself. Trump made the comment after Secretary of State Marco Rubio told a cabinet meeting at Camp David that five countries had announced plans to quit the court since the United States launched a campaign earlier this month against what it ‌says is ‌a threat to US sovereignty. “There’s no information that ​they’re ‌after ⁠me,” Trump ​said.
