Supreme court upholds order for payments to foreign aid organizations

Investing.com -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled in favor of a judge’s order that mandated the administration of President Donald Trump to promptly pay foreign aid organizations for the work they have already done for the government.

The court rejected Trump’s request to halt the order of U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, based in Washington. Judge Ali’s order had previously established a strict deadline for the release of funds to contractors and grant recipients from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department in recognition of their past contributions.

This ruling ensures that organizations that have already performed work for the U.S. government under contracts or grants from USAID and the State Department will receive their due payments in a timely manner. The Supreme Court’s decision affirms the previous order by Judge Ali and rejects any attempts to delay the disbursement of these funds.
