• Supreme Court rejects Trump request to freeze foreign aid — The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, rejected the Trump administration's request to continue freezing nearly $2 billion in foreign aid. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the liberal justices to uphold a lower court's order to unfreeze the aid, which had been approved by Congress. The decision marks a setback for the Trump administration, which had imposed a 90-day freeze on foreign assistance. The Supreme Court instructed Judge Amir Ali to clarify the government's obligations to comply with the order.
• Supreme Court denies request to block foreign aid payment — The United States Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, denied the federal government's request to overturn an order by D.C. Circuit Judge Amir Ali. Judge Ali had temporarily paused part of President Donald Trump's executive order that sought to reevaluate and realign U.S. foreign aid. The order prevented the suspension of foreign aid funding that existed before January 20, 2025. The Supreme Court instructed Judge Ali to clarify the government's obligations to ensure compliance with the order. The federal government subsequently provided a schedule for fulfilling pre-existing funding commitments.

• Supreme Court ruling against foreign aid freeze — The Supreme Court issued a ruling against the Trump administration's freeze on nearly $2 billion in foreign aid.

However, there remains confusion among program administrators about the criteria for future reviews of their projects.
