Trump Proposed US, Russia, and China Unite Against International Criminal Court in Closed-Door Talks With Xi: Report
Source: Mediaite.com
President Donald Trump reportedly suggested the United States, China, and Russia should unite against the International Criminal Court during closed-door talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing last week. The proposal emerged during wide-ranging conversations between the president and the Chinese leader that also touched on Russias war in Ukraine, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Trump argued the three powers shared common interests in opposing the ICC, which his administration has repeatedly accused of overreach and politicization, according to the report. The White House, as well as the Chinese embassy in D.C., declined to comment on the alleged remarks for the report when reached by the FT.
The discussions came as Trump seeks to reset relations with Beijing while also maintaining contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. Putin is expected to arrive in China this week for talks with Xi. According to people briefed on the summit, however, Trump suggested the three nations should join together to push back on the ICC and argued their interests were aligned against the Hague-based court.
The ICC has long been a target of Trump allies and senior administration officials, who have accused it of politicization and judicial overreach. Since returning to office last year, Trump has intensified pressure on the ICC, imposing sanctions on 11 court officials, including the chief prosecutor, and eight judges.

the bullet missed his heart and they revived him and he was kept in prison until he was put on trial
and then hung in 1948. He was not a nice man.

(52,723 posts)If Trump made those suggestions, it meant he was worried about what comes next for him. And Xi, right now, has very little to worry about. So, there is no "we" in that proposition.

Most MAGAs are proud of their military service and will understand how bad this looks.
If they don't - I hope they leave the country now.
