Federal Appeals Court Rules Trump Admin Can Withhold Billions in Foreign Aid

The lawsuit challenged President Donald Trump’s authority to withdraw $9 billion in foreign aid funding that had previously been appropriated by Congress. The reversal of funds was approved by Congress as part of its rescissions package.
