  • A federal judge has given the Trump administration until Monday to pay nearly $2 billion in debts to partners of the U.S. Agency for International Development and State Department.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to pay nearly $2 billion in debts owed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department. The ruling comes after a lawsuit filed by several humanitarian organizations, which argued that the Trump administration had unlawfully withheld funds designated for foreign aid programs. The debts include obligations to various international health, education, and development initiatives that were either delayed or not disbursed. The judge's decision emphasizes the legal obligation of the U.S. government to honor its commitments, highlighting the potential negative impacts on global health and poverty alleviation efforts if these funds are not released. This ruling could set a precedent for future administrations regarding the timely disbursement of congressionally approved foreign aid.
