Ottawa says it will not comment on whether it will intervene in support of Winnipeg-born International Criminal Court (ICC) judge Kimberly Prost in a legal case challenging U.S. sanctions. Prost asks a U.S. court to overturn sanctions imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to reports. The sanctions restrict her ability to use a credit card and limit access to many major online vendors. Multiple outlets report that the government’s position on joining the case is not being disclosed. The issue centers on whether Canada will take part in or support the Canadian judge’s effort to reverse the measures in U.S. court.

Overall, the coverage focuses on the gap between the court challenge and the Canadian government’s refusal to clarify its role, while reiterating the practical impacts of the sanctions on Prost’s day-to-day financial and commercial access.
