Officials in the United Nations are warning that without financial support, it will go broke. The globalist organization is facing massive financial setbacks after the United States made cuts to its budgeting rules, which require it to pay back some “unspent funds”. The UN added that unpaid dues from member states are also building.
As the Trump administration slashes support over criticism that the U.N. has failed to promote U.S. interests, the United Nations is warning it could face a cash crisis by July. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres warns that outstanding dues reached a record $1.568 billion at the end of 2025 and that collections covered only 76.7% of assessed contributions, leaving the organization dangerously exposed. –ZeroHedge
Unless collections of funds “drastically improve,” the U.N. will not be able to fully implement its 2026 budget and could face a liquidity crisis by mid-year, said the secretary-general.
According to a report by ZeroHedge, in January 2026, the United States formally withdrew from the World Health Organization and began exiting dozens of international bodies, including multiple U.N. entities, citing misalignment with American priorities. The recent funding decrease has already forced the U.N. to tighten up its spending across several of its agencies. Reports have already shown that U.N. bodies, including the World Food Programme and refugee agencies, are preparing layoffs and program reductions as overall contributions fall to the lowest level in a decade.
“Either all member states honour their obligations to pay in full and on time – or member states must fundamentally overhaul our financial rules to prevent an imminent financial collapse,” Secretary-General Guterres wrote.

Guterres, who will step down at the end of 2026, outlined his goals for the year, saying that the world was rife with “self-defeating geopolitical divides (and) brazen violations of international law.” The U.N. chief also denounced “wholesale cuts in development and humanitarian aid”.
