The US government announced sweeping sanctions against the International Criminal Court hours after former ICC judge Navanethem "Navi" Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump said the United States, represented by him as president should have won and that the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize Pillay was an "indelible stain" on the country of Norway, and the people that made "such a disgraceful and embarrassing decision".
Pillay, a former United Nations human rights chief, oversaw a UN report that concluded that Israel had committed genocide in Gaza.
Washington has denounced the ICC over arrest warrants issued for Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and an investigation into actions of US soldiers in Afghanistan.
