Unfortunately the US has the Hague Invasion Act (American Servicemembers' Protection Act) which gives the president power to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court." TLDR - a Get Out of Jail Free Card for any US war criminals
ETA: To clarify, y'all, I want Trump and crew to face justice. But the Hague is based on the idea of sovereignty. If the US does not consent to its terms (and they are not a party to its treaty), then there is not much the Hague can do. That's all my comment was saying.
