The president said the court had abused its power when issuing "baseless arrest warrants" against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant
"The ICC has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel, as neither country is a party to the Rome Statute or a member of the ICC," the Executive Order signed by Trump said."Neither country has ever recognized the ICC's jurisdiction, and both nations are thriving democracies with militaries that strictly adhere to the laws of war."
According to the order, the US "will impose tangible and significant consequences on those responsible for the ICC’s transgressions, some of which may include the blocking of property and assets, as well as the suspension of entry into the United States of ICC officials, employees, and agents, as well as their immediate family members."
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the court.
