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 a ruling by a federal judge in Washington with a 2-1 vote. The judge had previously found that U.S. officials failed to authorize payments as directed by the legislative body, violating the constitutional principle of separation of powers. This ruling is a significant victory for Trump, who is attempting to cut funding for projects no longer favored by his administration.
