“The U.S. welcomes the decision by interim President Delcy Rodriguez and Venezuela to withdraw from the ICC,” it said in a post on US social media company X.

It also praised the new Venezuelan government’s cooperation with Washington’s efforts to “dismantle” the Hague-based court.

The agency accused the ICC of failing to produce results from its investigation into former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro while directing resources toward countries with “competent, independent judicial systems” that had not accepted the court’s jurisdiction.

“This is blatant overreach, political bias and selective enforcement,” it said, describing the court as neither credible nor legitimate.

The agency said Maduro is facing justice before a US court for crimes he allegedly committed, crediting President Donald Trump and US service members.

Sounds like they’re afraid to be tried when shit hits the fan!

They were afraid of consequences when Dubya took office more than 25 years ago.

Hell, its why Clinton, who helped set it up never asked Congress/Senate to ratify joining.

Then Dubya came along and insisted on full immunity for the US as a condition for joining.

Additionally, the same logic is why China isnt a member of the ICC, although they at least pretend to be friendly to it.

The US needs to be dismantled far more than the ICC does.

US says its time to dismantle the ICC after a US conquered country suddenlyannounces its withdrawal

You don't say! And what reason did Venezuela have for this sudden withdrawal?

Go fuck yourself cheeto, the ICC sooner or later will be coming for you too
