U.S. President Donald Trump has authorized economic and travel sanctions targeting people who work on International Criminal Court investigations of U.S. citizens or U.S. allies such as Israel, drawing condemnation - but also some praise - abroad.

President Trump signed an executive order sanctioning the International Criminal Court, accusing the body of improperly targeting the United States and 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.”
