The Trump Administration Begins Transfer of $725m to UN Amid Billions Owed The United States government has begun transferring $725 million to the United Nations, a move that falls far short of addressing the billions in arrears owed by Washington to the global body.
The funds, which will be transferred before Donald Trump's upcoming speech at the UN General Assembly, amount to less than 20% of the over $4 billion claimed by the UN.
This development is not unexpected, given the long history of US ambivalence towards its obligations to international organizations.
