Trump has ordered sanctions on the ICC, which wields power to prosecute individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, crimes of aggression and war crimes.

U.S. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Thursday to sanction the International Criminal Court for targeting the United States and its allies, such as Israel, according to a White House official.

The order will include financial sanctions and visa restrictions against ICC officials found to have assisted in investigations of U.S. citizens or allies.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — For a few hours last week, the International Criminal Court looked poised to take a Libyan warlord into custody. Instead, member state Italy sent the head of a notorious network of detention centers back home.

The order Trump signed accuses the ICC of engaging in “illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel."

Donald Trump is imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court over its treatment of Israel, including an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

The president signed an executive order that said the I.C.C.’s actions against Israel and preliminary investigations into the United States “set a dangerous precedent.”
