Answer:

As far as America is concerned the ICC has no jurisdiction, no legitimacy, and no authority.” On March 15, 2019, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the US would impose visa bans on ICC officials involved in the court's potential investigation of US citizens for alleged crimes in Afghanistan.
