The Supreme Court Foreign-Aid Ruling Is a Bad Sign for Trump
Briefly

The recent Supreme Court ruling on unfreezing American foreign aid highlights complexities in two orders from U.S. District Court Judge Amir Ali. The Court's 5-4 decision, which included Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett alongside Democratic appointees, denied the government's attempt to vacate Ali's enforcement order concerning foreign aid funds. Although the government received temporary relief from immediate compliance, the underlying temporary restraining order, requiring the spending of appropriated funds, remains in effect. As a result, the ruling poses challenges for the Trump administration's control over foreign aid distribution.
The two orders from Judge Amir Ali show more significant losses for the Trump administration regarding foreign aid than initially perceived.
The Supreme Court's Friday ruling unfreezing American foreign aid is confusing, with a 5-4 majority denying the government's attempt to vacate a lower court's ruling.
