U.S. to Adopt Aggressive Stance Against International Criminal Court
--------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, is expected to
announce today that the United States will adopt an aggressive stance
against the International Criminal Court, including threatening
sanctions against the court if it tries to investigate alleged war
crimes committed by U.S. troops in Afghanistan. In Bolton's speech today
to the Federalist Society, he's also expected to announce the closure of
the Washington, D.C., office of the Palestine Liberation Organization,
or the PLO, as retaliation for the Palestinians' efforts to bring
alleged Israeli military war crimes to the International Criminal Court.
