I've noticed a few (small number) of robocalls have started spoofing international phone numbers instead of local phone numbers. I don't know if
Are you sure this isn't just either a failure to spoof or incompetent spoofing?
https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-consider-new-rules-combat-international-scam-robocalls WASHINGTON, April 27, 2022 [...]The new rules, if adopted at the FCC’s May 19 Open Meeting, would require gateway providers to participate in robocall mitigation, including blocking efforts, take responsibility for illegal robocall campaigns on their networks, cooperate with FCC enforcement efforts, and quickly respond to efforts to trace illegal robocalls to their source. Under the proposed Report and Order, non-compliance by a gateway provider would result in that provider being removed from the Robocall Mitigation Database and subject to mandatory blocking by other network participants, essentially ending its ability to operate.

They're debating whether or not to close the screen door on the submarine before submerging.
When I receive robo-calls, I have no means of tracing them to the originating network or identifying the responsible party. Best case, the above would just move [more of the] robo-call origination off-shore to be outside the FCC's enforcement authority. Most likely, it will do nothing because the telcos / VOIP providers profit from this activity and have no incentive to cooperate with enforcement against each other.
