George Clooney’s wife Amal faces potential US travel restrictions after Trump sanctions – NewsBreak
Hollywood power couple George and Amal Clooney may see their global lifestyle disrupted due to new Trump-era sanctions that could affect Amal’s ability to enter the United States.
Clooney Family Lifestyle at Risk
George Clooney, the Oscar-winning actor known for Ticket to Paradise, and Amal Clooney, a celebrated international human rights lawyer, have long led a jet-setting lifestyle. With homes in Italy, France, England, and the U.S., the couple is known for their global footprint and high-profile appearances.
However, recent political developments could put that globe-trotting lifestyle in jeopardy.
Trump’s Executive Order Targets ICC Officials
In April 2025, former President Donald Trump signed a new executive order targeting officials and affiliates of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The move comes after the ICC launched investigations into alleged war crimes involving Israeli leaders.
Amal Clooney reportedly provided legal counsel in a war crimes case involving Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This association may now impact her legal right to enter the U.S.
Key Points of the Executive Order:
- Sanctions may include travel bans for ICC officials and their families.
- Property and assets of involved individuals could be frozen.
- The order cites “illegitimate and baseless actions” by the ICC targeting the U.S. and its allies.
As Amal is a prominent figure in international law and an ICC advisor, her travel privileges—especially to the U.S.—may be severely restricted.
A Love Story Spanning Continents
George and Amal Clooney met in 2013 and married in 2014 in a stunning ceremony in Venice, Italy. They now share 11 years of marriage and are parents to twins, Alexander and Ella.
Their love story began in Lake Como and unfolded across London, New York, and the French countryside. Their homes include:
- A lakeside villa in Lake Como, Italy
- A historic estate in Sonning Eye, England
- A vineyard estate in Provence, France
- A residence in New York City, USA
Their international lifestyle has become symbolic of modern celebrity culture—rooted in humanitarian work, entertainment, and luxury.
Amal Clooney: Legal Icon and Global Advocate
Amal, born in Lebanon and raised in the U.K., is dual-qualified to practice law in both England and the U.S. Her work with the Clooney Foundation for Justice and international courts has earned global recognition. However, her legal ties to controversial ICC cases could now threaten her U.S. access.
Despite the risks, Amal continues to advocate for justice and accountability in conflict zones—a mission that aligns with her life’s work.
Will the Clooneys Relocate Again?
The couple has often moved for work and family. After living in France for several years, George confirmed in 2024 that the family had returned to the U.S. for their children’s schooling.
“They’re in New York. We’ve been here the whole time,” George told Access Hollywood. “Apparently, you have to educate children—which was news to me.”
But if sanctions move forward, the family may need to reevaluate their U.S. residency and lifestyle once again.
What’s Next for George and Amal?
George Clooney is preparing for his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck, while Amal continues her global legal work. The uncertainty around the U.S. travel ban casts a shadow over their future in America, but the Clooneys remain committed to their work and family life.
As tensions rise between international law bodies and national governments, the Clooneys’ situation underscores a broader clash between diplomacy, justice, and politics.
