The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday paused a lower court order requiring the Trump administration to quickly move to spend billions of dollars in foreign aid that the president has sought to block.

The justices issued an administrative stay, a temporary measure that allows them more time to review the administration’s request to withhold about $4 billion in aid authorized by Congress before the Sept. 30 deadline.

The order by Chief Justice John Roberts marks the third Supreme Court win this week for President Donald Trump, which also included another Roberts order that let the president remove a member of the Federal Trade Commission.
