Senator Marco Rubio emphasized the necessity of U.S. sanctions against the International Criminal Court during a phone call with his Japanese counterpart. The discussion centered on the punitive measures imposed on the global judicial body by the United States.

In response to the U.S. stance, the legislative body of the International Criminal Court demanded the immediate revocation of the sanctions. Furthermore, the court urged the international community to stand firm in its defense against the measures.
