Trump asks Supreme Court to allow billions in foreign aid cuts
President Trump petitions the Supreme Court to approve $4bn in foreign aid cuts. A lower court previously ruled that the administration must spend allocated funds, prompting the urgent request to the Supreme Court. Trump aims to withhold funds for foreign assistance programs, citing misalignment with his objectives. The move is a part of Trump's efforts to cancel billions in foreign aid, including funds for USAID, despite legal challenges from aid groups.
