Trump administration sanctions UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday announced that he is levying sanctions on UN Human Rights Council special rapporteur Francesca Albanese "for her illegitimate and shameful efforts to prompt @IntlCrimCourt action against US and Israeli officials, companies, and executives". Rubio made the announcement on X. "Albanese's campaign of political and economic warfare against the United States and Israel will no longer be tolerated. We will always stand by our partners in their right to self-defense," he wrote. "The United States will continue to take whatever actions we deem necessary to respond to lawfare and protect our sovereignty and that of our allies." Albanese had previously been labelled an "antisemite" by the Trump administration. Her latest report named several US companies for aiding Israel's "economy of genocide".
