The Supreme Court reinstated a $4.3 billion punitive damages award against Sudan on May 18 for providing material support and safe haven to a Muslim terrorist group that carried out deadly bombings of U.S. embassies in East Africa in the late 1990s.

The decision was a victory for the Trump administration, which argued on behalf of the victims of terrorism as a so-called friend of the court.
