Executive Order 14203, titled "Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court", is an executive order signed by United States president Donald Trump on February 6, 2025. The order is imposing sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) based in The Hague, the Netherlands.
The order includes visa restrictions and financial penalties for people who help the ICC investigate American citizens and American allies. 
Background.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) can prosecute people worldwide for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. 125 nations are member of the Court. During the first presidency of Trump, he also imposed sanctions against the ICC. At that time it was against the court's chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda together with one of her associates as punishment for investigating possible American war crimes in Afghanistan.
In November 2024 the ICC issued the arrest warrants. Israel and the United States opposed the decision. In the week prior to this Order, the Republican majority in the American Senate tried to pass sanctions against the ICC through the parliament. However, this was blocked by Democratic senators.
