US sanctions International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor following Trump’s directive
The U.S. has imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, following President Trump's order. Khan is now on the list of individuals barred from doing business with Americans and restricted from entering the U.S. This action comes as the ICC investigates alleged war crimes involving Israel. Trump criticized the court for targeting the U.S. and its allies, particularly in light of an arrest warrant issued for Israeli officials. The ICC, based in The Hague, prosecutes war crimes and crimes against humanity. The court's president emphasized its role in international justice, while Khan faces allegations of misconduct, which he denies.
