Hungary's foreign minister says Trump's sanctions on ICC 'understandable'

Sanctions imposed by US President Donald Trump on the International Criminal Court (ICC) are "absolutely understandable," Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in a Facebook post on Friday.

Szijjarto also said that the ICC has recently become "a biased political tool" and that Hungary was also evaluating its cooperation with the institution. The ICC on Friday said it condemned the decision by Trump to impose sanctions on its staff.
