The Trump administration must allow the distribution of foreign aid again -- at least temporarily -- unless challenges to the White House's sweeping order is heard in court.

The judge faulted the logic of a blanket freeze on foreign aid spending and found that groups that depend on the aid had made a strong initial showing of “irreparable harm.”

“We're going to take it. We're going to hold it. We're going to cherish it. We're going to get it going eventually, where a lot of jobs are going to be created for the people in the Middle East,” Trump said, adding that this action will be an “absolute, tremendous asset for the Middle East.”
