Washington, February 15 (RHC)-- A U.S. federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore U.S. funding for foreign aid.
Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, said Trump’s executive order “set off a shock wave” for aid groups that relied on the money, which had already been appropriated by Congress.
Lawyers argued the blanket freeze harmed both recipients of the aid and U.S. businesses and organizations that provide it, arguing before the court: “Businesses are shuttering, terminating employees … food is rotting, medication is expiring.”
