Foreign Aid Control
Biden-appointed judge Amir Ali has ordered the Trump administration to keep paying out foreign aid approved by the Biden administration because Trump’s blanket pause of this aid allegedly violates a federal law called the Administrative Procedure Act.
IN FACT, the Administrative Procedure Act explicitly states that it doesn’t apply to any “military or foreign affairs function of the United States.”
Moreover, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (7–1) in the 1936 case of United States v. Curtiss-Wright that the Constitution makes the President “the sole organ of the federal government in the field of international relations” and that “congressional legislation” within “the international field must often accord to the President a degree of discretion and freedom from statutory restriction which would not be admissible were domestic affairs alone involved.”
