    > Trump sanctions International Criminal Court, calls it 'illegitimate'

    > President Donald Trump has signed an executive order sanctioning the International Criminal Court, accusing it of "illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel".

    > The measure places financial and visa restrictions on individuals and their families who assist in ICC investigations of American citizens or allies.

    > Trump signed the measure as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was visiting Washington.

      Tangential, but related (and kinda bizarre):

      "Netanyahu gifts Trump a golden pager during US visit"
