He would need some kind of finding of fact in the US to support that, and that hasn't happened AFAIK yet. The ICC has made that finding, but it wouldn't be legally supportable to use that finding to withhold appropriated funding.

In fact the US is so NOT a member of the ICC that it's currently federal law that if a US soldier was being held at the Hague, the US military would be obligated to invade The Netherlands in order to recover them
