The Supreme Court has ruled allowing Donald Trump to withhold $4 billion in foreign aid funding intended for humanitarian assistance programs in Chad. This funding is allocated to bolster food security initiatives, facilitate trade development, and support victims of torture in the country. The Court’s decision stems from a challenge to the government’s taxation of the funds, focusing on the specific application of the funds and their intended purpose. The ruling doesn’t directly impact the overall disbursement of the aid, but it establishes a legal precedent concerning the taxation of international assistance.
