The Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court for permission to keep $4 billion in foreign aid funds frozen<\/a>.The Justice Department filed an emergency request after the D.C. Circuit Court of appeals declined to halt a lower court order<\/a> that required the government to spend these congressionally approved funds by the end of september. the administration argues that the court order conflicts with President Trump’s attempt to cancel the aid through a “pocket rescission,” a process where the president requests Congress to rescind funds at the fiscal year’s end to prevent spending before Congress acts.<\/p>\n

solicitor General D. John Sauer contends that obligating the funds before Congress considers the rescission would be self-defeating, and the timeline imposed by the court is impractical and disruptive to government operations and foreign relations. Simultaneously occurring, groups opposing the freeze argue that delaying the spending order would effectively block billions of dollars in aid.<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court received this request amid other key decisions favoring the Trump administration, including lifting restrictions<\/a> on immigration raids and allowing the firing of a Democratic-appointed FTC commissioner during ongoing litigation.
