U.S. Supreme Court Keeps Foreign Aid Freeze in Place

Washington, D.C. — Chief Justice John Roberts has temporarily upheld the Trump administration’s decision to block nearly $5 billion in foreign aid, maintaining the freeze while legal challenges continue.
The move preserves the status quo despite lower court rulings questioning the legality of the freeze. Critics argue the suspension undermines U.S. foreign policy commitments and could weaken relationships with key allies.
Analysts suggest the case could set a precedent for how much unilateral power presidents have over federal spending. A full court review is expected in the coming weeks.
