Blinken said Washington was taking the step even though it continued “to disagree strongly with the ICC’s actions relating to the Afghanistan and Palestinian situations” and to object to ICC “efforts to assert jurisdiction over personnel of non-States Parties such as the United States and Israel.”
In his formal announcement terminating the sanctions, dated Thursday, Biden said that while they were neither “effective or appropriate,” - The Trump administration last year accused the Hague-based ICC of infringing on U.S. national sovereignty when it authorized an investigation into war crimes committed by Afghan forces, the Taliban or U.S. troops.

It targeted court staff, including Bensouda, in September with asset freezes and travel bans for investigating American citizens without U.S. consent. The United States is not a member of the court.

The ICC said the sanctions were an attack on international justice and the rule of law.
