by Paul Dragu,The New American:

The United States is withholding more than $4 billion in unpaid dues to the United Nations, whose leaders are warning that the globalist organization is on the verge of collapse. Ending the UN would be among the greatest contributions to Americans — nay, to the world — on behalf of the Donald Trump administration.

To its credit, the second Trump administration has caused more problems for the UN than any other before it. But red-pilled patriots should remain sober and avoid becoming overly hopeful. This type of wailing from UN leaders is the same script we heard back in January, just days before Trump signed a government spending bill that included $3.1 billion for the UN.

As of now, it appears that only a small portion of that money was sent to Brussels,just $160 million.AccordingtoThe Wall Street Journal,“The U.S. says it is conditioning future financial support on deeper savings, with more job cuts, less business-class travel and greater use of machine translators.”

But the UN has made “historically large spending cuts and embarked on an efficiency drive,”The Journaltell us. It has closed offices and eliminated 3,000 secretarial positions. It has implemented troop drawdawns in the Congo. The UN has even “powered down escalators and ignored loose cladding on its 75-year-old headquarters in New York,” we are told.

The UN is made up of 193 member states that fund 40,000 programs and employ (as of December 2025) nearly 173,000 employees.

The United States has historically provided up to 30 percent of all UN funding. In 2022, Americansdoled out $18 billionto the UN. The following year, in 2023, it was $13 billion. In the late 1940s, just after the UN was created, the United States paid 40 percent of the UN’s regular budget. All this money, we should remember, is being sent out while the national debt grows to heights that threaten to catapult the country off a financial cliff.

A lot has changed since 2023. A UN budgetreportfrom May breaks down who’s paying their dues, who’s not, and how much the delinquent countries owe. At the top of the delinquent list is the United States. America owes more than $2 billion to the UN’s regular budget. A distant second is China, which owes $429 million. Japan is a distant third with $152 million in unpaid dues. As for the peacekeeping budget, the United States owes another $2.2 billion, with China behind in dues by $870 million. The United States also owes $44 million in tribunal fees.

In total, the UN is facing a $6.4 billion budget hole, with the United States owing a majority of that. China’s delays aren’t helping.
