US Supreme Court pauses judge's order that Trump spend foreign aid
- On September 9, 2025, Chief Justice John Roberts issued a temporary order that upheld the Trump administration's freeze on nearly $5 billion in congressionally approved foreign aid.
- This ruling followed a lower court decision by U.S. District Judge Amir Ali that the administration could not withhold $4 billion in foreign aid without congressional approval, which Trump’s team challenged.
- The frozen aid funds, intended for programs supporting global health and HIV/AIDS, were designated for the federal agency responsible for international development efforts, which the administration has mostly dismantled.
- Roberts issued a temporary stay to allow the full Supreme Court additional time to examine the case, emphasizing that decisions regarding foreign aid funding involve both the legislative and executive branches.
- The temporary order delays the release of funds amid ongoing litigation and complicates government shutdown negotiations, leaving foreign aid payments uncertain through the end of September.
