- Trump authorizes ICC sanctions — Trump signed an order authorizing economic sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), accusing the body of "improperly targeting" the United States and its allies, such as Israel. Trump has been a vocal critic of the ICC and said the court had "abused its power" in issuing warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes. The order grants Trump broad powers to impose asset freezes and travel bans against ICC staff and their family members if the US determines they are involved in efforts to investigate or prosecute citizens of the US and certain allies.
