EU threatens countermeasures if US sanctions ICC; Trump targets Oslo and UN

The EU has warned the US that it is prepared to defend the International Criminal Court if Washington proceeds with sanctions, escalating a transatlantic dispute over international justice. Separately, President Trump has threatened Norway over the Nobel Peace Prize and rejected UN candidates, signaling a broader confrontation with multilateral institutions. The EU's stance marks a firm collective response to US pressure, but the exact scope of countermeasures remains unspecified.
