Critics argue that President Trump has exceeded his constitutional authority by reducing the aid approved by Congress.
The United States Appeals Court ruled that President Donald Trump could move forward with efforts to reduce foreign aid payments, although these funds determined by Congress.
The second ruling to one on Wednesday canceled a previous judicial order requesting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to appeal payments, including about $ 4 billion for the USAID and $ 6 billion for HIV and AIDS programs.
But the majority of the Court of Appeal did not weigh the advantages of whether Trump could approve money on Congress.
Instead, the case decided on the idea that the prosecutors did not meet the legal basis for qualifying to issue a court order to the court.
Writing to the majority, the judge of the department, Karen Henderson, said that the groups concerned “lack the cause of the lawsuit to pressure their claims.” It includes the Da`wa Alliance, AIDS vaccines and the press development network, both of which are received from federal aid.
“The granted people failed to meet the requirements of the initial judicial order in any case,” henderson, who was appointed by former President George Herpeter Bush, wrote.
She joined her decision by Gregory Katasas, who is appointed Trump.
However, the third judge of the committee – Florence Ban, who was nominated during the era of former President Joe Biden – issued an opposition opinion that Trump is not allowed to violate the separation of powers by cutting aid.
In her opinion, she wrote: “Satisfaction with the court in the illegal behavior of the court and its facilitation obstructs the carefully designed system of the examined and balanced force that acts as the largest security against tyranny – the accumulation of excessive power in one branch.”
The ruler’s hands are a victory for the Trump administration, which faced a series of legal challenges to Trump’s efforts to radically reshaping the federal government.
This includes exciting discounts for government spending and agencies such as the United States Agency for International Development, which was established by Congress Law.
Immediately after taking office, Trump announced a 90 -day halt from all external aid.
He has already moved to the United States Agency for International Development, which prompted a cry from its predecessors, and the presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
By March, the Trump administration announced that it intends to fold the US Agency for International Development at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and mainly dismantle the agency. In the same month, Foreign Minister Marco Rubio also said that he canceled 83 percent of the United States Agency for International Development.
Part of Trump’s thinking of these changes was to reduce “waste” and “bloating” in the government. He also sought to better align government programming with his “First America” agenda.
But critics say that the executive branch does not have the ability to demolish the costly agencies of Congress. They also argue that Congress has the ability to assign money to help, putting Trump’s efforts as paying the extremist presidential power.
However, Republicans control the congressional councils, and in July, Congress approved the abolition law for 2025, allowing the government to return nearly $ 9 billion in external aid and financing for public broadcasting.
The American boycott judge, Amir Ali previously, had previously spent the Trump administration to pay its agreed money on humanitarian groups and other contractors who have partnered with the government to distribute aid.
In February, administration officials estimated that there are $ 2 billion in payment payments due to the deadline judge.
However, the Court of Appeal Court has regained cases to restore external aid to contractors.
Prosecutor Bam Bondi celebrated the decision on Wednesday, saying that the Ministry of Justice “will continue to protect the basic presidential authorities successfully from judicial transcendence.”
