Supreme Court allows Trump to block billions in foreign aid money
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times - Friday, September 26, 2025

“The standard for granting emergency relief is supposed to be stringent. The Executive has not come close to meeting it here,” she wrote.
“I appreciate that the majority refrains from offering a definitive view of this dispute and the questions raised in it. But the effect of its ruling is to allow the Executive to cease obligating $4 billion in funds that Congress appropriated for foreign aid, and that will now never reach its intended recipients,” she said.
