US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order authorizing economic and travel sanctions against individuals involved in International Criminal Court investigations of US citizens and allies, such as Israel. The move comes as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits Washington and coincides with the ICC's arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defense minister over the Gaza war. The order accuses the court of abusing its power and engaging in illegitimate actions. The US has not yet announced the names of those to be sanctioned.
