WASHINGTON — A federal judge has ordered President Donald Trump's administration to temporarily lift a funding freeze that has shut down U.S. humanitarian aid and development work around the world, and he has set a five-day deadline for the administration to prove it's complying.

A judge has blocked a federal funding freeze from the Trump administration, but Gov. Andy Beshear says it's still affecting Kentucky.
