(Reuters) -President Donald Trump's administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday to intervene in its efforts to withhold billions of dollars from foreign aid organizations and lift an injunction that is forcing it to keep making payments.

The U.S. Department of Justice in an emergency filing with the 6-3 conservative majority court noted that a 2-1 panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit earlier this month ruled the injunction should be overturned.
