6-3 ruling overturns lower court decision on congressional appropriations
1.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on September 26, 2025, that President Trump can withhold $4 billion in foreign aid that was previously approved by Congress. The decision overturned a lower court ruling that had blocked the administration from freezing these funds. The Court's majority opinion stated that 'the asserted harms to the Executive's conduct of foreign affairs appear to outweigh the potential harm' of withholding the allocated funds.
