The US Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration's attempt to withhold nearly $2 billion in payments to foreign aid organizations for work they had completed. By a narrow 5-4 margin, the court upheld US District Judge Amir Ali's order to release funds to contractors and grant recipients from USAID and the State Department. The ruling came in response to the administration's arguments that compliance with the order was infeasible due to time constraints. Despite the administration's concerns, the court maintained Ali's ruling, reaffirming the judiciary's power in fiscal disputes.
