US President Donald Trump will impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) for investigating US citizens and allies, including Israel. The executive order will freeze financial assets and impose visa bans on individuals assisting ICC probes. A White House official stated the move aims to counter what Trump calls "politically motivated" cases against US military personnel and allies. Critics argue the sanctions undermine international justice. The ICC has faced US opposition over past investigations into alleged war crimes. The move is expected to heighten tensions between the US and international legal bodies.
