“The U.S. welcomes the decision by interim President Delcy Rodriguez and Venezuela to withdraw from the ICC,” it said in a post on US social media company X.

It also praised the new Venezuelan government’s cooperation with Washington’s efforts to “dismantle” the Hague-based court.

The agency accused the ICC of failing to produce results from its investigation into former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro while directing resources toward countries with “competent, independent judicial systems” that had not accepted the court’s jurisdiction.

“This is blatant overreach, political bias and selective enforcement,” it said, describing the court as neither credible nor legitimate.

The agency said Maduro is facing justice before a US court for crimes he allegedly committed, crediting President Donald Trump and US service members.

    Venezuela? The country 100% controlled by Marco Rubio? And thus probably not acting in the Unites States interests at all?

      Well, I don’t think that they’ll be acting on the interests of the United States as such.
