The Trump Effect Saves U.S. Soldiers From Runaway Prosecutors

The International Criminal Court dropped a more than decade-long inquiry into alleged crimes by U.S. personnel in Afghanistan. The action came soon after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the U.S. would deny a visa to the court’s prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, and potentially other court officials, because of their possible prosecution of Americans. The court said in an opinion that it wouldn’t proceed because of “changes within the relevant political landscape” suggesting it would not get “cooperation” from the U.S. In other words, the Trump Effect.
