Trump claims to fix UN financial crisis ‘very easily’ amid US withholding $4 billion in dues
UNITED NATIONS: While the US withholding nearly $ 4 billion in dues to the UN is sending it to the edge of a financial precipice, President Donald Trump has claimed that he could solve the problem “very easily”.
In his interview with Politico on Sunday (local time), he did not, however, say that he would release the funds that the US owes, which, according to the UN, is at the centre of its financial crisis.
In a letter to heads of UN missions, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the world body is in “imminent financial collapse”, but without mentioning the US arrears.
According to a UN official, Washington owes $2.196 billion to the UN’s regular budget and $1.8 billion to its separate peacekeeping budget.
