Trump Administration Plans $850 Million Payment to UN

The U.S. plans to pay $850 million of its $5 billion debt to the UN, including $725 million for the regular budget and $125 million for peacekeeping operations.
This payment is the largest since the Trump administration's demand for reforms in exchange for continued support as the UN's largest donor.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres previously warned of an imminent financial collapse due to unpaid contributions, emphasizing the urgency for member nations to fulfill their dues.
