January 1, Supreme Court Backs Trump on Foreign Aid Freeze

Wyatt’s Take

• Supreme Court lets Trump hold back billions in foreign aid.
• Liberal justices opposed the move, but the ruling stood at 6-3.
• This could help cut more wasteful spending from Washington.

The Supreme Court decided to keep President Trump’s stop on about $4 billion in foreign aid. This move is seen as a clear win for the White House.

“The court’s three liberal justices dissented.”

The decision lets Trump keep money from going overseas, including funds for global health and HIV projects he called wasteful. A lower court had tried to force the spending, but the high court’s ruling blocked that for now.

This is part of Trump’s bigger fight to rein in spending Congress already approved. Earlier, he tried using a “pocket rescission” after lawmakers gave the green light to $11 billion in aid.

Many see this ruling as a possible path for cutting even more foreign giveaways in the future. It signals stronger limits on how money is handed out by Washington.
