The Trump administration owes the United Nations about $1 billion in payments at a time when the multilateral organization said it is facing its "worst cash crisis" in a decade, USA Today reports.
The U.S. owes $381 million in back payments and $674 million for 2019. Of the $1.3 billion owed to the U.N. by member states, the U.S. is responsible for more than $1 billion.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sent a letter to member states on Tuesday calling the current situation the "worst cash crisis facing the United Nations in nearly a decade."
Stéphane Dujarric, a spokesman for Guterres, said the U.N. "runs the risk of depleting its liquidity reserves by the end of the month and defaulting on payments to staff and vendors."
"The Secretariat could face a default on salaries and payments for goods and services by the end of November unless more member states pay their budget dues in full," Dujarric said in a statement.

What a shame.
I’m not seeing a problem here.

“The Trump administration owes the United Nations”
****
we DONT owe these clowns anything. It’s the other way around for wasting our money on bullsh*t like glowbull warming..
I notice they didn’t mention how far in arrears other member countries are.
Donald, you magnificent bastard!
Winning.
So as soon as the US stops payment to the UN they have a cash crisis. Sounds to me that we were the ones keeping the lights on. I hope it shrivels up.
The Secretariat Bldg is 525 ft tall
Who knew bullshiite can pile so high?
This is the global welfare system we have been funding all these years. We owe them nothing.
Starve the beast!
Trump should send them a bill for $2 billion to cover what the UN has wasted on climate change scam- and another $billion for making us suffer through greta and her idiotic self righteous ‘how dare you’s’
Well, there goes our FICO score. It may make it more difficult for the USA to borrow more money! (we hope)
Obama gave it to Iran!
Has UN run out of somebody else’s money?
UN could probably find cheaper rent in another country.
“We” (the United States) don’t owe one dime to the United Nations. This country has bankrolled the worst of the worst through the UN. Not anymore. Let the globalists pony up the money. Our bank is closed or it should be. The old saying: Get the US out of the UN and get the UN out of the US.
Bankrupt the scumbag POS!
Well, if they can’t make the payments on the UN Building with US tax dollars, maybe they should be foreclosed on and evicted?
[[Sounds to me that we were the ones keeping the lights on]]
Exactly- and the message should be “Since this committee is a losing business, We’re shutting the lights off and letting it fizzle into obscurity- We told you folks to get your act together- and you refused- now you will just have to suffer the consequences of your inactions- maybe next time spend OUR money more wisely and this won’t happen!”
