President Donald Trump is set to sign two executive orders on Thursday afternoon, with one aimed at the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the other addressing 'anti-Christian bias,' as per a White House official speaking to CNN.
The executive order targeting the ICC is expected to impose financial and visa sanctions on individuals and their families who assist in ICC investigations involving US citizens or allies. This action is in response to the ICC issuing arrest warrants for prominent Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
Last month, the House passed a bill sanctioning the ICC, but Senate Democrats blocked its passage.
Earlier on Thursday, President Trump announced his executive order on combating anti-Christian bias. He stated, 'Today, I’m signing an executive order to make our attorney general the head of a new task force dedicated to eradicating anti-Christian bias.' The attorney general mentioned, Pam Bondi, is expected to lead this effort.
