PARIS — France is reaffirming its support for the International Criminal Court (ICC) and will mobilize with its partners so that the ICC can continue its mission independently and impartially, a French foreign ministry spokesman says.

The statement comes after US President Donald Trump yesterday authorized economic and travel sanctions targeting people who work on ICC investigations of US citizens or US allies such as Israel.

The United States and Israel, along with China and Russia, are not members of the ICC.
