The U.S. government has notified Congress of its plans to pay $850 million of the several billion it owes to the United Nations, the largest payment the Trump administration would make to the world body since it demanded sweeping reforms in exchange for continued support as its largest donor.
The State Department laid out its plans to transfer $725 million as part of its dues to the regular U.N. budget and $125 million toward U.N. peacekeeping operations in Haiti and the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to notifications sent to lawmakers this month and obtained by The Associated Press.
The U.S. is behind on about $5 billion in dues related to its U.N. membership, with more than $2 billion owed toward the regular budget and $3 billion for peacekeeping operations, the United Nations says.
Their national debt probably doesn’t allow any spending anymore, but foremost : Trump isn’t known for paying what he owes*
Long past time to move the UN.
US hasn’t paid UN bills for decades. This isn’t even a Trump thing, it’s just a general US asshole thing.
Take it from musk
Could pay it off from the Venezuela money that Trump stole and put into his Qatar bank account.
The UN is a toothless dog that regularly looks the other way with genocide. UN “peacekeepers” are as useful as tits on a bull.
Fuck Trump, but also fuck the UN. Its just performative at this point.
