Chief Justice John Roberts granted the Trump administration’s request Wednesday to pause a lower court order requiring them to pay an estimated $2 billion in foreign aid.
Roberts directed the parties to explain by Friday at noon why the funding should continue. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, a Biden appointee, temporarily halted on Feb. 13 the administration’s freeze on foreign spending. He directed the Trump administration on Tuesday to resume payments by Wednesday night.
Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris told the Supreme Court that the lower court’s order “appears to contemplate the immediate outlay of nearly $2 billion” and has “thrown what should be an orderly review by the government into chaos.”
