The U.S. government has notified Congress of its plan to pay $8.5 billion of the $50 billion it owes to the United Nations. This would be the largest single payment made by the Trump administration—now the UN's largest donor—to the organization since demanding comprehensive reforms from the UN in exchange for continued funding. Trump has publicly criticized the United Nations for failing to fulfill its potential. His administration did not contribute any funds to the UN in 2025, has withdrawn from multiple UN agencies including the World Health Organization and UNESCO, and has cut off funding to dozens of other organizations.
