Kerry’s argument is bunk even on its own terms. Trump said

“they were given $150 billion” and

“the funds made available by the last administration”.

Kerry’s argument is that a court ordered the US to give them the money and so therefore Trump’s statement is a lie. That is bunk for two reasons:

1. Every administration since Jimmy Carter refused to give them the money despite any court order so the implication that they had no choice is bunk.

2. Just because a court orders you to give someone something doesn’t make it a “lie” to say you gave it to them.

Kerry’s best argument would be “Yes, we gave it to them but we had to give it to them (even though Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush somehow refused to do so).”
