President Donald Trump's administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday (August 26, 2025) to intervene in its efforts to withhold billions of dollars from foreign aid organisations and lift an injunction that is forcing it to keep making payments.

The U.S. Department of Justice, in an emergency filing with the 6-3 conservative majority court, noted that a 2-1 panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit earlier this month ruled the injunction should be overturned.
