Federal Judge Orders Release of Billions in Foreign Aid Approved by Congress

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to release billions of dollars in foreign aid approved by Congress, including funds that President Donald Trump had previously stated he would not spend, according to a court ruling on Tuesday. The ruling requires the administration to make the funds available for their intended purposes after being withheld for more than two years. The decision comes amid ongoing disputes over the use of foreign aid and other government funds.
