British ICC chief prosecutor lost access to email and has bank accounts frozen after Trump sanctions on top court
Trump imposed strict sanctions on the ICC, the highest criminal court in the world, after a panel of judges issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant in November. Judges found there was reason to believe that the pair may have committed war crimes by restricting humanitarian aid and intentionally targeting civilians in Israel's campaign against Hamas in Gaza - charges Israeli officials deny.One reason the court has been hamstrung is that it relies heavily on contractors and non-governmental organisations. These businesses and groups have curtailed work on behalf of the court because they are concerned about being targeted by US authorities, according to current and former ICC staffers.
Microsoft, for example, cancelled Mr Khan's email address, forcing the prosecutor to move to Proton Mail, a Swiss email provider, ICC staffers said. His bank accounts in the UK have been blocked.

Dieses "Defizit" kann man doch locker ausgleichen:
1. Bürgergeld kürzen
2. Einzelhandelspreise hochtreiben (siehe Kaffee etc)
3. Co² Steuer erhöhen (nicht für die Industrie !)
Was ist eigentlich mit der Weinsteuer ? Ich schätze mal, dass trifft dann die Falschen (die Oben), also geht das nicht.
Wie wäre es, die Verteidigungsausgaben nur um 4 % zu erhöhen, ganz egal was dieses #TRUMPeltier fordert.
