Tehran, 12 June _The EU's foreign policy chief has expressed "serious concern" over US President Donald Trump's order to impose sanctions on any International Criminal Court (ICC) officials investigating US troops, as it conducts a probe into wartime atrocities into Afghanistan.
Josep Borrell says the EU stands behind the ICC and its role in "providing international justice," adding that "it must be respected and supported by all nations."
In the latest attempt by the Trump administration to force the Hague-based tribunal out of the investigation into potential war crimes by US military and intelligence officials in the Asian country, Trump issued an executive order on Thursday, saying that the United States would block all American property and assets of anyone in the ICC involved in the probe.
Trump administration officials said the ICC threatens to infringe upon American national sovereignty and accused Russia of manipulating it.
