Trump wins court battle, will cut billions in foreign aid.

On August 13, Jin10 reported that a U.S. appeals court ruled that the Trump administration may cut billions of dollars in foreign aid funding approved by Congress this year. In a decision made on Wednesday, the appeals court overturned the ruling of a federal judge in Washington by a vote of 2 to 1. The judge had previously determined that U.S. officials had not authorized the payment of funds as directed by the legislature, violating the constitutional principle of separation of powers. This ruling is a significant victory for Trump, who is seeking to reduce funding for projects that are no longer favored by his administration.
