The top judge in the United States has given temporary backing to the Trump administration's freeze on foreign aid payments.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts' intervention came as the administration faced a midnight deadline (05:00 GMT on Thursday) to pay contractors.

Officials had argued that they could not process the payments within the timeframe set by a lower court judge.
