The US Supreme Court has sided with President Donald Trump, allowing him to freeze $4bn in foreign aid from being disbursed, reversing a lower court's ruling. The decision marks another win for Trump on the issue of foreign aid distribution. The reversal means that the funds, which were set aside by Congress as part of a 2020 government spending bill, will remain locked up until Trump certifies that they are needed to combat COVID-19. The ruling is seen as a significant victory for Trump's efforts to use his executive authority to control foreign aid distribution.
