Washington pays $850M of UN debt
The U.S. government announced the repayment of $850 million of its debt to the United Nations, which totals around $5 billion. This marks the largest such payment since the Trump administration, as part of efforts to improve relations with the international organization in exchange for continued financial support. The plan is to allocate $725 million to the UN’s budget and $125 million to peacekeeping operations in Haiti and the Democratic Republic of Congo, as part of a renewal of financial commitments following significant reductions over the past few years. During Trump's presidency, he demanded reforms within the organization and withheld contributions, leading to decreased funding and withdrawals from some international agencies, in exchange for pressure to implement substantial policy changes.
