An EU lawmaker says the European Union must “act now” in response to US President Donald Trump’s attacks on the International Criminal Court (ICC). Socialists and Democrats MEP Chloé Ridel describes the remarks as “unacceptable” and argues Trump is trying to undermine the court.
Ridel frames the criticism as an effort to “erase the court,” suggesting the ICC is beyond the US president’s control. Her comments place the focus on the ICC’s role and the perceived impact of political pressure from Washington. The report presents her view directly, without detailing additional measures the EU should take or quoting other officials in the same outlet.
Across the two sources provided, the coverage is effectively identical, with both focusing on Ridel’s assessment and her call for EU action, rather than expanding on the broader diplomatic or legal context behind the US-ICC dispute.
