US Judge Temporarily Lifts Funding Freeze on Aid Programmes
Hindustan Times Ranchi
|February 15, 2025
A federal judge has temporarily lifted a freeze on funding to US aid and development programmes ordered by President Donald Trump's administration, court documents seen by AFP on Friday showed.
WASHINGTON:
Judge Amir Ali, who was appointed by Joe Biden in November, prohibited the Trump administration from "suspending, pausing, or otherwise preventing" foreign assistance funds, according to Thursday's ruling.
The Trump administration has frozen foreign aid funding, ordered thousands of internationally based staff to return to the US and begun slashing the US Agency for International Development (USAID) head-count of 10,000 employees to around only 300.
