WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday said the Trump administration can temporarily hold on to $4 billion in foreign aid funding approved by Congress, overturning a lower court\u2019s order and continuing a struggle over who controls the nation\u2019s purse strings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The one-page ruling from the emergency docket, signed by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., came just one day after the administration appealed the lower court\u2019s ruling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the original lawsuit over withheld foreign aid began in February and stemmed from an executive order, the Trump administration\u00a0sent Congress a rescissions request<\/a> covering some of the spending in late August.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The proposal is part of the formal process laid out in a 1974 law that allows the president to ask lawmakers to cancel previously approved spending.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Congress typically has 45 days to approve, modify, or disagree with a rescissions request. During that time the president can legally freeze the funding and only has to spend it if lawmakers don\u2019t approve the plan.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This particular rescission request, however, was sent to lawmakers within 45 days of the end of the fiscal year, creating a dispute that complicated the nature of the original lawsuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That maneuver, sometimes called a pocket rescission, is considered illegal by the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office and several members of Congress, though White House budget director Russ Vought believes it\u2019s within the bounds of the law.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Solicitor General D. John Sauer\u00a0wrote in the Trump administration\u2019s appeal<\/a> that the federal district court\u2019s order to spend the funding \u201crequires the Executive Branch to rush to obligate the same $4 billion that the President has just proposed rescinding between now and September 30, and thus puts the Executive Branch at war with itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as the President is pressing for rescission and explaining to Congress that obligating these funds would harm U.S. foreign policy interests, his subordinates are being forced to proceed to identify and even negotiate with potential recipients,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s decision Tuesday doesn\u2019t address whether the justices agree with the administration that it can refuse to spend the billions in foreign aid since it sent the rescissions request close to the end of the fiscal year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roberts wrote \u201cthat the September 3, 2025 order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, case Nos. 1:25-cv-400 and 1:25-cv-402, is hereby partially stayed for funds that are subject to the President\u2019s August 28, 2025 recission proposal currently pending before Congress pending further order of the undersigned or of the Court. It is further ordered that a response to the application be filed on or before Friday, September 12th, 2025, by 4 p.m. (EDT).\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
