that's to be expected
The US doesn't recognize the ICC.
In fact, I'm pretty sure the US gets agreement from many countries to stay immune from prosecution from the ICC. Also, the Republicans and especially the Trump Administration have shown quite a disdain for the UN as a whole. This would have happened under any Rep or Dem. If we're being honest.
hope the ICC doesnt cave and continues these investigations

Probably. Yup. Yes.
I'd have to read it over again but even if the US were a signatory they could have an investigation find no wrongdoing and that would be that no ICC referral/investigation.
Protect yourself from prosecution for war crimes
John Bolton is one of those war criminals

Congress added a provision to the law in 2015 requiring the shuttering of the mission if the Palestinians seek to "influence a determination by the ICC to initiate a judicially authorized investigation, or to actively support such an investigation, that subjects Israeli nationals to an investigation for alleged crimes against Palestinians."
