January 1, UN Scrambles for Cash After Trump Cuts
Wyatt’s Take
- The U.N. is warning of a financial crisis after U.S. funding cuts.
- President Trump slashed money to agencies he called wasteful and pressured others to pay their share.
- The U.N. says operations are at risk, but the U.S. calls it a management mess, not a money problem.
The United Nations says it’s nearly out of money, pointing the finger at unpaid dues and big cuts from America. U.N. leaders warn many programs could shut down without more cash from members.
“We are currently in survival mode, delivering under strain,” said U.N. Human Rights Commissioner Volker Türk during a speech in Geneva.
President Trump slashed U.S. payments to the U.N., calling out waste and bias, while demanding that other countries step up. America led 193 countries to reduce U.N. spending by $570 million and cut almost 3,000 staff jobs.
The U.N. Human Rights Office says it needs $400 million just to keep functioning. Funding shortfalls are already forcing them to scale back. Most countries haven’t paid what they owe. The U.S. alone is on the hook for billions in budget and peacekeeping dues.
“The crisis is deepening, threatening programme delivery and risking financial collapse. And the situation will deteriorate further in the near future,” wrote Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.
He urged all countries to pay up—or else rules might have to change to avoid what he called an “imminent financial collapse.”
President Trump refused to say if America would release any more money. He claimed, “If they came to Trump and told him, I’d get everybody to pay up, just like I got NATO to pay up. All I have to do is call these countries…they would send checks within minutes.”
The State Department says this isn’t a cash crisis, but one of bad management at the U.N. A spokesperson pointed to high U.N. salaries and a jump in senior jobs, plus expensive perks and meetings. “These misleading chicken-little complaints from the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights complain about the United States remind us why President Trump decided to leave the Human Rights Council,” the spokesperson added.
The U.S. left the U.N. Human Rights Council in 2025, saying it protected abusers and didn’t serve our interests. More recently, the administration pulled out of climate groups linked to the U.N. for the same reasons.
Türk also criticized U.S. immigration policies, but the White House isn’t responding. The U.N. Human Rights Office hasn’t commented further either.
Get the facts and decide for yourself—should Americans shell out more to the U.N., or is it time for other countries to pay their way?
Wyatt Matters
Decisions on foreign aid hit home in Middle America, where folks work hard for every dollar. Money sent overseas should bring value to our country, not just fill a bureaucrat’s pocket. American taxpayers deserve transparency, not hidden handouts.

Total agreement. The UN,like the once League of Nations, has completely outlived its usefulness. It is now just a raging Jew-hating farce of a nazi organization. It deserves to go down in infamy.

The UN is so corrupt by powers that be, it is no longer what it was meant to be. The UN allowed Israel to be born again as a Nation and it’s own country in 1947/48, and now refuses to stand by that decision. Rather than being neutral it takes sides with whomever it decides to take sides with. It will not condemn violence, against those who commit violence, against other countries, because it has taken sides with violence. So yes, the US has every right and should remove itself from the UN.

Why does the US have to fund all these Organizations? The US seems to subsidize all the other Countries. Kind of like we had to with drug prices until Trump fixed that situation.

Shut the UN down and move it to Bangla Desh. It’s absolutely useless and corrupt and this is why these Marxists, socialists and democrats fear DJT. He’s exposing the corruption. Waste, fraud and abuse.

The UN is nothing but a criminal organization and has been for decades. Hope my President removes them from our soil and completely stops one red cent in funding.

The US refused to pay the UN for many years. After that was changed (by Democrats, as I recall) and the US paid the lions share to the UN, the corruption only increased exponentially. Why would we do something that stupid?

Used to be the hippie lefties protesting carrying signs get out of the UN now they want to feed it with taxpayers money. Let the UN die on the line with all their opinions and accusations of the US.

The UN is a lesson in failure, and the building is a monument to corruption.

Worthless and wasteful; like flushing U.S. dollars down the toilet (only to find that U.N. is flushing their toilets into our basement)! This isn’t just a sewer “back-up,” it’s the intentional all-in to _rap on USA!

De-Fund the U.N. And, once it closes down, demolish the entire building and put up a beautiful skyscraper for corporate offices and condos/apartments.

Time for them to leave the United States. And get us out. The buildings will make a pretty good mall. And maybe some shelter for homeless so they do not freeze to death.

I agree with everyone else who posted. The UN should be moved to another country. Let some other country take care of them. We have done it for way too long. The UN building could be used to house the homeless as someone else said. They aren’t even complaining about the murders in Iran so why should we fund them? They’ve become as worthless as buggy whips. Useful in their time but that time is over.

President Trump is doing what he does best – making sure that America is not getting “ripped off/ short changed” by these international organizations & countries who have played us far too long. The UN needs us more than we need them and if America retains membership in the UN the HQ should be moved from NYC preferably to another country. The USA has graciously provided the UN a home for a number of yrs. Time to spread the wealth & let other nations covet the honor & funding.
