Trump Urges Kenya & 124 Other ICC Members to Leave Tribunal

U.S. President Donald Trump urged Kenya and 124 other member states of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to withdraw from the tribunal, calling it an "out-of-control" and "anti-American" institution. In his speech at the United Nations General Assembly on September 22, 2026, Trump stated that the ICC has no jurisdiction over the United States. Kenya, which ratified the Rome Statute in 2005, has been involved in ICC investigations related to the 2007-2008 post-election violence.
