The video says (transcribed automatically):

The heart of American opposition to joining the International Criminal Court has always been that Washington has never agreed that U .S. service personnel should be subject to prosecution in any foreign -based court. Back in July, the State Department announced what it called a sweeping whole -of -government approach to dismantling the ICC altogether. It is based in The Hague, in the Netherlands. The stated reason was the organization's opening of investigations into U .S. servicemen and intelligence officers. Also of concern at Maine State was the ICC's issuance of arrest warrants on war crimes charges two years ago for a Hamas commander, a former Israeli defense minister, and the sitting prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. Israel, like the U .S., has never joined the ICC and rejects its claims to jurisdiction. Secretary of State Rubio, fresh off visits to Iceland and Greece, is wrapping up his trip with a stop today in lisbon portugal in remarks released on video at 10 30 eastern time trip with a stop today in Lisbon, Portugal. In remarks released on this morning literally moments ago rubio announced u .s sanctions against the international criminal court banning transactions with it that rely on u .s financial channels and demanding similar action from washington's partners in the international community against what the secretary called this fake court
