| 2020-06-03 |
| [Jpost] US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday alluded to new US measures against the International Criminal Court "in the coming days," dropping hints that the retaliation could go beyond revoking visas to financial penalties. In an interview with the American Enterprise Institute, he said, "You’ll see in the coming days a series of announcements not just from the State Department, from all across the United States government, that attempt to push back against what the ICC is up to." "I think that the ICC and the world will see that we are determined to prevent having Americans and our friends and allies in Israel and elsewhere hauled in by this corrupt ICC," Pompeo said. |

| #1 The secretary of state has also faced bipartisan pressure to defend Israel from any ICC probe. Hundreds of politicians from both the Senate and the House of Representatives sent a letter in mid-May... Bipartisan pressure? We talking about the US here? Say it ain't so, bipartisan agreement on something. |
