US judge orders Trump administration to restore funding for foreign aid programmes

A U.S. federal judge has mandated that the Trump administration reinstate funding for foreign aid programs, which had been cut off by the administration. The decision came after a lawsuit was filed by several humanitarian organizations, arguing that the defunding was unlawful and would severely impact global health and poverty alleviation efforts. The programs in question include initiatives aimed at combating HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, and other critical health services in developing countries. Judge Richard J. Leon of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled that the administration's actions violated the Impoundment Control Act, which requires Congressional approval for withholding funds allocated by Congress. This ruling ensures that the funding, which amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars, will continue to support these vital international aid efforts.
