U.S. Plans $725 Million Payment Toward UN Debt
The Trump administration has notified Congress of plans to allocate $725 million to the United Nations as part of efforts to address outstanding U.S. contributions.
The proposed payment would cover only a portion of the billions of dollars the United Nations says Washington owes, while the Trump administration has made further payments conditional on continued UN reforms.
No funds had been transferred as of August 21, according to a U.S. official.
The move comes ahead of President Donald Trump’s expected address to the UN General Assembly in New York next month.
