WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Foreign aid organizations asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday to require President Donald Trump's administration to promptly pay them for work they already performed for the government, as a federal judge had ordered.

The ruling marked the second the time a federal judge had pushed the Trump administration to act after finding that it had ignored an earlier order.

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration has less than two days to release billions of dollars in blocked foreign aid after determining it failed to comply with a previous court order
