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

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court, claiming that it “has engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel.”
