A U.S. District Judge has ordered the Trump administration to expedite partial payments to some partners of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department, requiring the funds to be delivered by Monday.
The federal judge's ruling, issued Thursday in response to a lawsuit, required the administration to pay back a part of the $2 billion in debts to nonprofit organizations and businesses affected by the abrupt shutdown of foreign assistance funding, the Associated Press reported.
