'America first': US Supreme Court sides with Trump; $4B foreign aid withheld
The US Supreme Court sided with President Trump, allowing his administration to withhold roughly $4 billion in foreign aid approved by Congress, aligning with his "America First" agenda. This ruling temporarily blocks a lower court injunction. Liberal justices dissented, arguing the decision undermines the constitutional separation of powers, though the court noted it's not a final determination on the merits.
