Trump administration asks Supreme Court to allow it to freeze billions in foreign aid
- On Monday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to permit withholding close to $5 billion in foreign aid funds that Congress had authorized, amid ongoing legal disputes in Washington.
- The dispute arose after President Trump notified Congress on August 28 that he would not spend the aid, invoking a pocket rescission last used about 50 years ago despite the Impoundment Control Act.
- Last week, Judge Amir Ali decided that the administration is required to allocate the funds unless Congress formally approves the rescission, and on Friday, the D.C. Appeals Court chose not to halt that decision.
- Judge Ali ruled that funding cannot be withheld without Congressional approval of Trump's proposal, while nonprofit organizations argued that the freeze on aid disrupts essential international initiatives targeting malaria and AIDS prevention.
- The case highlights a legal showdown over presidential spending authority with the current federal fiscal year ending September 30, when another $6.5 billion of aid is expected to be spent.
