BREAKING: Supreme Court Hands President Trump ANOTHER Win on Foreign Aid

The wins just keep piling on this week!

In another victory for President Trump, SCOTUS has just allowed President Trump to go ahead with freezing around $4 billion in foreign aid — at least, for now.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts just gave an order that, at least temporarily, reverses a lower court ruling that blocked the Trump administration from cutting foreign aid that Congress had already approved.

The order allows the Trump administration to keep the billions of dollars in foreign aid frozen, pending the court’s final ruling.

NBC News reported:

The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration to withhold $4 billion in spending on foreign aid that was previously appropriated by Congress, at least temporarily.

Chief Justice John Roberts issued a brief order in response to the administration’s emergency request filed on Monday seeking to block a federal judge’s ruling that would have required the administration to spend the funds.

It is not a final decision, but it means the case is on hold while the Supreme Court decides what next steps to take.

Chief Justice Roberts has given the aid groups who are suing President Trump over the foreign aid freeze a deadline of Friday to respond.

Reuters has more:

The stay was issued by Chief Justice John Roberts, who handles emergency filings arising in Washington. Roberts asked the aid groups that sued the administration to file a response to the administration’s request by Friday.

The money at issue in the case was intended by Congress for foreign aid, United Nations peacekeeping operations and democracy-promotion efforts overseas.

The administration said in court papers that the $4 billion of disputed foreign aid funding is “contrary to U.S. foreign policy,” reflecting Trump’s effort to scale back U.S. assistance abroad as part of his “America First” agenda. Trump has also largely dismantled the U.S. Agency for International Development, the main U.S. foreign aid agency.

Congress budgeted billions of dollars in foreign aid last year, about $11 billion of which must be spent or obligated ahead of a deadline of September 30 – the last day of the U.S. government’s current fiscal year – lest it expire.

After being sued by aid groups that expected to compete for the funding, the administration said last month that it intended to spend $6.5 billion of the disputed funds. Trump also sought to block $4 billion in the funding through an unusual step called a “pocket rescission” that bypasses Congress.

Ali ruled on September 3 that the administration cannot simply choose to withhold the money, and that it must comply with appropriations laws unless Congress changes them.

It certainly appears like the Supreme Court is prepared to side with President Trump on the final ruling…

But, we will see how this plays out.
