Trump foreign aid freeze to stay for now, US Supreme Court chief rules

The US Supreme Judge gave temporary support to freeze the Trump administration on foreign aid payments.

Supreme Court President John Roberts’ intervention came at a time when the administration faced midnight (05:00 GMT on Thursday) to contractors.

Officials have argued that they could not handle payments within the timetable set by the minimum judge of the court.

Since his arrival to power in January, US President Donald Trump has taken a quick measure to end many aid programs, which the US Agency for International Development has largely, and has placed most of its employees on or dismissed administrative leave.

The Trump administration seeks to reduce the federal workforce and reduce costs in a campaign led by Elon Musk.

The billionaire counselor Trump asked millions of bureaucrats during the weekend to include their achievements from last week – which angered the workforce and the dispute with officials who lead the departments.

The American boycott judge, Amir Ali, ordered the US State Department and the US International Development Agency to pay about $ 2 billion of bills (1.6 billion pounds) for contractors by midnight on Wednesday.

It is one of many interventions by judges who are trying to stop or stop a wave of Trump administration orders.

As the deadline approached, the Trump administration went to the Supreme Court, on the pretext that it was impossible to address claims in an organized manner in such a short period of time.

The freezing of the US federal government comes at a time when the administration is reviewing the financing of foreign aid.

Acting lawyer Sarah Harris said that the order of Judge Ali “gave what should be an organized review by the government to chaos.”

The reductions to the US International Development Agency have already raised the global aid system.

Hundreds of programs have been frozen in countries around the world since the President announced his intentions in January.

The United States is to a large extent the largest humanitarian aid provider around the world.

It has bases in more than 60 countries and works in dozens of others, with many of its work that its contractors carry out.

According to the Associated Press News, the Trump administration wants to eliminate more than 90 % of the US State Development Agency Foreign Agency – and $ 60 billion in US foreign aid.
