Trump Loses Latest Legal Round Over Billions in Foreign Aid

The Trump administration has faced another legal setback in its efforts to withhold billions of dollars in US foreign aid. A federal appeals court rejected the government's request to immediately intervene in a court order that requires the administration to spend the allocated funds before they expire later this month. The case centers around the administration's attempt to freeze foreign aid appropriated by Congress, which was deemed unlawful by a lower court. Despite the administration's appeal, the appeals court has upheld the original ruling, forcing the government to disburse the funds as intended. This ongoing legal battle highlights the tensions between the executive branch's priorities and the congressional mandate to provide foreign assistance. The ruling is a significant victory for those who argue that the administration's actions exceeded its authority and undermined the legislative process.
