Wall Street Journal, citing U.S. officials: Trump administration prepares to impose sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court

U.S. officials disclosed on Sunday that the administration of President Donald Trump intends to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court.

The Wall Street Journal cited U.S. officials, "the Trump administration is preparing to impose sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court", without revealing further details.

The U.S. president Donald Trump signed last year an executive order imposing sanctions on the International Criminal Court, while international media reported that this step aims to punish the court for issuing arrest warrants against senior Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
