The Trump administration slapped a Canadian judge on the International Criminal Court with sanctions as the U.S. State Department unleashes a new wave of restrictions against judges it said had been instrumental in a past decision to investigate U.

President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday imposed sanctions on two judges and two prosecutors at the International Criminal Court, as Washington ramped up its pressure on the war tribunal over its targeting of Israeli leaders and a past decision to investigate U.

The U.S. sanctioned two of the court’s deputy prosecutors as well as two judges, a French jurist and Kimberly Prost, a University of Manitoba graduate who spent nearly two decades with Justice Canada before moving overseas.
