Sanctions Land Hours After Nobel Win for Ex-Court Judge

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe New York Times reports the Trump administration hit the International Criminal Court with new, sweeping sanctions.

2. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe timing is the story. Officials announced the punishments just hours after the Nobel Peace Prize committee honored a former judge of that same court.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSkip, the Times calls it an escalation that isolates the U.S. from global justice mechanisms. Is anyone there reacting?

4. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentGreat question, Hank! I found a local man holding a very large pretzel. Sir, what does today's news mean to you?

5. MP

   Marty PruittHonestly, I came for the pretzel. But a prize in the morning and sanctions by dinner? That's the fastest breakup I've ever seen.

6. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentWise words from a man with a pretzel.

7. 

   Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentHank, I should note the Times gives no word yet on what the sanctions mean day to day.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorUnderstood, Skip. Fewer details, more pretzel. Stay dry, and keep clear of that security guard.
