  "summary": "The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. The sanctions, which would take effect after a six to seven month grace period, would prohibit most transactions with the ICC, according to officials cited by the outlet. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in late January 2025 to sanction the ICC in response to investigations into Israeli officials, including former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his then-defence minister, Yoav Gallant, who were issued arrest warrants in November 2024 over war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.",
