Incredible. US Speaker of the House: “we don’t put any international body above our sovereignty”

“International body above sovereignty” is the very definition of international law.

So it’s official: the US rejects the very concept of international law.

    Yeah that was my thought. “International law” only really matters for smaller countries. Superpower countries can ignore it if they want, and that is the intended design since the foundation of the UN. I don’t anticipate that ever changing unless we have WWIII
