US throws pennies at massive UN debt

Washington still reportedly owes the intergovernmental organization billions of dollars in mandatory funding

The US has paid $160 million towards the more than $4 billion it owes the UN in the first payment since President Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

The UN faces a mounting financial crisis, while the US president positions his Gaza Board of Peace to “oversee” the global body. Some experts have already warned that the initiative could undermine the UN.
