Trump should provide international aid

Two out of three judges voted for this decision.

De facto, it means that Donald Trump's team no longer has the right to refuse funding that Congress has approved for aid programs around the world.

The Justice Department has already announced its intention to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case urgently and suspend the injunction issued by a federal judge in Washington.

As journalists managed to find out, about $12 billion out of $30 billion will be canceled within a month if the State Department and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) do not at least present a plan for their use.

Federal Judge Amir Ali draws attention to the fact that Trump's refusal to direct funds to international aid is contrary to US law regulating the activities of federal agencies.

The administration (Trump — ed.) has not provided any justification for departing from the fundamental principle that Congressional appropriations must be carried out,” the judge emphasized.
