WASHINGTON, D.C. — A federal judge has temporarily lifted a freeze on funding to US aid and development programs ordered by President Donald Trump's administration, court documents seen by Agence France-Presse on Friday showed.

Judge Amir Ali, who was appointed by Joe Biden in November, prohibited the Trump administration from 'suspending, pausing, or otherwise preventing' foreign assistance funds, according to Thursday's ruling.
