flag U.S. cuts UN funding unless reforms like transparency and pay changes are made, risking global missions.

flag U.S. flag Ambassador Mike Waltz is enforcing President Trump’s “a la carte” UN funding strategy, withholding support from agencies like the WHO, UNRWA, and the Human Rights Council unless reforms are made. flag The approach, emphasizing “America first,” demands greater transparency, an independent inspector general, and changes to high-level pay. flag Combined with planned 15% budget cuts, 18% staff reductions, and 25% cuts to peacekeeping, the move threatens critical humanitarian and security missions. flag The U.N. has responded with internal restructuring, but analysts warn the financial void left by the U.S. could undermine global cooperation and long-term stability.
