Trump risks ICC arrest warrant being issued for him, says human rights lawyer
It’ll severely limit his ability to travel internationally. Plus sometimes it’s just about making a statement.
They have already not done this with Putin or Netanyahu.
There is a less than zero chance they will do this with a sitting American president. No one's coming to save us from him we're going to have to do it ourselves.
To countries which will be able to fend off a US invasion? It would be interesting to see which country would defy the Hague Invasion Act.
Arresting the US President will be interpreted as an act of war and the US will retaliate militarily.
Hmmm what would the Secret Service do if Trump were to be arrested while on a diplomatic trip? Yeah, Trump would not be taken into custody, I’d bet my Legos on it.
It matters, just not in as much as one might hope. It is mostly a symbolic step, true, because no one will arrest a sitting president. But it shows that the court is observing and condemning the actions. Think of what might come after: Trump couldn't enter quite a few countries without fear of arrest once he is no longer president. Same with Putin, or Netanyahu. It makes international action so much easier if you can just say "well, there is a warrant out for you, so you better not show up". Become a refugee? Better not go to a country that might uphold the warrant. Regime change in your current country of residence? Better think fast, the new administration might just need a reason to take you in.
Couldn't this be used by courts in other countries to seize his foreign assets abroad and justify sanctions?
Trump is so old, he will probably be president for life with out without a third term
It's a cliffhanger, in the next installment we can hope there is like a hero super team rescue yeah
