At first glance, it is not a completely bad argument that the USA is using against the International Criminal Court. It is an argument that has to do with self-determination and democracy, and it is one that the United States has been making since the founding of this global criminal court in 1998.

They already formulated it under George W. Bush. Under Barack Obama they just couched it in slightly more polite language. Now, under Donald Trump, it's just coming back, sharply pointed out, but essentially well-known.
