What was said
"you know, famously, we have what's called The Hague invasion act that allows us the authority or that Congress has given the authority for the US to literally invade the Hague to extract US personnel who hypothetically would have been arrested by the court."
Ezra Klein says a US law often dubbed the “Hague invasion” provision reflects longstanding American resistance to the International Criminal Court. He argues it suggests US hostility is embedded in policy and statute, not limited to current politics.
