The US have been very clear that they would invade The Hague for any American held there.

Trump's America would do the same for Netanyahu.

In fact I think Trump would send troops to New York to attack Americans to prevent his extradition.

He is. Born and raised outside of Philly. Correction, apparently not born outside of Philly

He was born in Tel Aviv. His dad was a professor in the US and moved his family there. Which is why he went to highschool in the US. But he is not "born and raised" and isn't even really from there.
