The US administration announced sanctions against the International Criminal Court following its arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and its investigation into US troops in Afghanistan

The United States imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court as an institution on 9 October 2026, banning transactions with the tribunal to cut off its resources, after earlier sanctions on its president and a senior trial lawyer in August. Court officials said its work would continue, while the US Treasury planned licences exempting some activity to protect American interests.
