The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to keep billions in foreign aid frozen, upholding congressional authority over spending. The decision follows legal challenges from nonprofits after the administration halted funds for global health and humanitarian programs.
While the ruling does not immediately release the aid, it directs lower courts to clarify the government’s obligations. Conservative justices dissented, arguing executive authority was undermined, while advocates see it as a win for humanitarian efforts. The case highlights ongoing tensions between presidential power and congressional oversight.
