President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) according to a White House official.
The move comes in response to the ICC’s investigations into U.S. personnel and allies like Israel which Trump views as targeting America.
The sanctions would likely include financial penalties and visa restrictions for ICC officials and those assisting in these investigations.
This action revives tensions similar to those during Trump’s first term when he sanctioned ICC officials over probes into alleged U.S. war crimes in Afghanistan.
Critics of the move argue it undermines international law and the pursuit of justice for war crimes.
Supporters believe it’s a necessary defense against an overreaching court that threatens U.S. sovereignty.
Public reactions vary with some expressing support for protecting U.S. interests and others concerned about the precedent this sets for international relations.
Many in the commentary sphere call for a nuanced approach to ensure accountability without international isolation.
