The United States has always acted decisively to defend U.S. sovereignty and U.S. citizens against the threat of the International Criminal Court (ICC).  To date, the United States has imposed sanctions on 17 persons pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 14203 “Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court.”  Friday, at President Trump’s direction, Department of State announced additional actions to defend U.S. sovereignty and neutralize the threat posed by the ICC.
