The court\u2019s majority concluded that the potential harm to the executive branch\u2019s conduct of foreign affairs outweighed any damage to the nonprofit groups that sued to block the freeze.<\/p>\n<p>The case stems from Trump\u2019s decision last month to revoke more than $4 billion in previously approved foreign aid, including $3.2 billion for USAID programs, $322 million from the joint USAID\u2013State Department Democracy Fund, and $521 million for international organizations. The \u201cpocket rescission\u201d maneuver was submitted to Congress just before the end of the fiscal year, ensuring it would take effect without congressional approval\u2014marking the first use of the tactic in nearly 50 years. Earlier, U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta Ali ruled the administration could not withhold the funds without Congress affirming the rescission, writing that the law \u201cexplicitly\u201d reserves that authority for lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>In a related development, the Supreme Court also agreed to hear a case testing Trump\u2019s power to remove Federal Trade Commission members without cause\u2014a challenge that could reshape the balance between presidential authority and agency independence. The justices temporarily allowed Trump to remove FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter while the case proceeds. The court\u2019s three liberal justices\u2014Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, and Ketanji Brown Jackson\u2014dissented, warning that the order grants the president \u201cfull control\u201d over agencies Congress intended to keep politically independent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to freeze more than $4 billion in foreign aid after President Donald Trump attempted to cancel the funds through&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2372,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
