Amal Clooney could be barred from entering US by President Donald Trump

Amal Clooney could be barred from entering the US by Donald Trump , according to reports. The British human rights barrister, who is married to actor George Clooney, could be sanctioned by the US President after a panel she sat on recommended an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on war crimes charges in Gaza. Lawyers involved in the International Criminal Court’s (ICC) decision to issue the warrant, including Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws and Lord Justice Adrian Fulford, have been warned by the British Foreign Office they could be barred from the US, the Financial Times reports.

It is currently unclear whether Clooney has been cautioned, but she was a member of the panel that recommended prosecutor Karim Khan issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, then Israel’s defence minister. In February, Trump used an executive order to sanction Khan, banning him and his family from the country and seizing his US assets, and warned further measures could follow against “those responsible for the ICC’s transgressions”..
