Contractors and NGOs are intensifying their legal battle against the Trump administration, filing multiple lawsuits challenging the recent freeze on foreign aid and the dismantling of the USAID agency. These lawsuits highlight allegations of millions owed to U.S. businesses amid ongoing shutdowns, as contractors voice concerns over unpaid invoices totaling $500 million. The situation escalated with the dismissal of the USAID inspector general, who had previously warned about funding oversight issues. As legal pressures increase, the impacts of the foreign aid freeze continue to resonate across the sector.
