The Supreme Court has rejected a request by the Trump administration to continue refusing to pay out nearly $2 billion for work completed by USAID, with Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joining the court's three liberal justices in the majority. However, the court's decision did not specify when the money must be released, allowing Trump's team to further dispute the issue in lower courts. We speak to two people involved in the lawsuit brought by the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, or AVAC. The Trump administration's decision to unilaterally slash foreign assistance, including funding critical to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS, "for no good reason and with no clear strategy," was an unlawful "abuse of executive power," says attorney Nicolas Sansone, who serves as counsel for the plaintiff. "People will die," adds Mitchell Warren, the executive director of AVAC. Warren condemns the "willful ignorance" and "disregard of science" being promoted by Trump and his allies, many of whom are former supporters of bipartisan global health initiatives.
