US delinquent on payments as UN faces 'worst cash crisis' in a decade
The Hill ^ | 10/09/19 | Marty Johnson

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.

‘The check is in the mail’ - President Trump

Too bad it wasn’t, “The check’s not in the mail, it never will be, and there will be no further payments. Please cancel my subscription. Thank you.”

Okay. So that’s why I’ve been seeing guys in UN blue helmets collecting returnable cans. Obama would have loaned them trucks-—and millions of our taxpayer cash—to keep the global world government going.

US out of the UN.
UN out of the US.

Good— make the delinquent states make up the shortfall by f’n paying their amounts.

No more subsidy for these Anti-US world socialists. It’s over for Soros.

I love how it looks here like the Trump World Tower is flipping the bird at the UN.

Hell, we can do MUCH better than this. We need to make their “cash crisis” much worse than the current “worst”.

You found the words I wanted to express. Maybe the next step is evicting these people and putting the building to good use.

I would have no problem if it turned out that Trump did this to force the UN out so he could pick up the real estate later. I’d consider it his reward for getting the UN out of here once and for all.

Not buying it, especially after Trump has been on NATO to pay up. How much rent do they owe on that building.
