Germany rejects Trump's ICC withdrawal call, reaffirms court support

German foreign minister Johann Wadephul publicly rejected former President Trump's call for the US to withdraw from the International Criminal Court, affirming Berlin's view of the ICC as vital for international law and human rights. This marks a clear transatlantic divergence on multilateral institutions, though it is a statement of position rather than a policy change. The significance lies in reinforcing the rift between European allies and the US on international justice.
