President Donald Trump authorized sanctions on International Criminal Court officials who investigate the US and its allies, a move that drew condemnation from the Hague-based tribunal.

The order Trump signed accuses the ICC of engaging in “illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel” and of abusing its power by issuing “baseless arrest warrants” against Netanyahu and his former defense minister,

The president signed an executive order that said the I.C.C.’s actions against Israel and preliminary investigations into the United States “set a dangerous precedent.”
