President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court over investigations of Israel, a close U.S. ally. Neither the U.S. nor Israel is a member of or recognizes the court,

A majority of member states, including the UK, Germany and France, said the court was "vital" for international justice.

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.
