The funding freeze on U.S. foreign assistance is over, according to the Trump administration — and the “individualized review” of all awards is now complete.
That’s according to a court filing submitted on Monday, which urged the Supreme Court to excuse the government from immediately repaying some $2 billion in foreign aid.
“[USAID’s implementing partners] assert that they ‘would face extraordinary and irreversible harm if the funding freeze continues,’” wrote Sarah Harris, the acting solicitor general representing the Trump administration. “But the ‘funding freeze’ is not continuing; it is over.”
