Made up BS. ICAO changed the age to 65 in 2006 after a 2 year study when it was proposed. The US didn't change the Age to 65 until over a year later in 2007. Your assertion that the ICAO changed because they "followed the US" is bizarre. If you are a pilot you should turn in your medical immediately since you likely have some kind of mental disability.
The US ICAO rep voted against the age change to 65. This nonsense that "ICAO is waiting for the US to tell them to change the age" is ridiculous. ICAO has over 100 member countries and the executive board has 36 votes, almost all are in countries where the max age is 65 or less. So the idea they will change it is not likely at all. If it changes, it will be 2027 or 2028 at the earliest.
