Yesterday, "The Washington Post" reported that the United Nations can only operate until July at most due to member states' unpaid fees. Trump is portraying himself as the key figure who can resolve the financial crisis of the United Nations. On Sunday morning, during an interview, he refuted claims that the United Nations might move out of New York. Despite warnings from UN officials that if funds run out, the UN may have to reduce its operations or even close its New York headquarters, Trump still believes "the United Nations will not move out of New York, nor out of the United States, because the UN has tremendous potential." Trump also said that if the UN asks for his help, he can quickly reverse its financial difficulties, "getting all countries to pay up, just like I made NATO pay." He claimed that if the UN Secretary-General calls him, he would call those countries, and "within minutes they would send the checks." However, he refused to answer whether the United States would repay the billions of dollars it owes to the United Nations. Unlike his sharp criticism of the UN last year, Trump insisted this time that the UN remains crucial and repeatedly emphasized the "huge potential" of the UN. He also said: "When I no longer personally mediate wars, the UN can."
