U.S. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Thursday to sanction the International Criminal Court for targeting the United States and its allies, such as Israel, according to a White House official.

U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court could jeopardize trials and investigations at the world’s only permanent global tribunal for war crimes and genocide.

President Trump says the work of the I.C.C., the world’s highest criminal court, threatens the national security of the United States and its allies, including Israel.
