Xi Tells Trump Putin May Regret Invading Ukraine: Report
The Financial Times said Trump raised the idea during talks with Xi Jinping, as Russia faces an ICC arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin.
- During his summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping last week, President Donald Trump reportedly suggested that the United States, China, and Russia should collaborate to combat the International Criminal Court, according to the Financial Times.

- Russia, which withdrew from the court in 2016, now faces an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, while China has consistently rejected the court's jurisdiction.
- When reached by the Financial Times, the White House declined to comment on the reported remarks, though officials have previously labeled the court's actions regarding Israel as "illegitimate and baseless actions."
- Signaling a defiant posture, the U.S. maintains the American Servicemembers' Protection Act, allowing "all means necessary and appropriate" to free military personnel detained by the court.
