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 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.”
