UN Official: US Legally Obligated to Pay Dues, Despite Withdrawal from 31 Agencies The United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has stated that the United States has a legal obligation to continue paying its dues, which fund UN agencies, despite the White Houses decision to withdraw support from over thirty UN initiatives. This includes key programs on population and climate. Guterres expressed regret over President Trumps decision to exit thirty-one UN-related agencies and dozens of other global organizations, many of which target issues like climate, labor, and migration, which the administration labels as woke initiatives. The UN groups plan to continue delivering aid, as they serve people in need. Tensions have been high for a year, with Trump previously cutting funds to the World Health Organization, Palestinian refugee agency, and others.

Other powers like China have paid in full, over six hundred eighty-five million dollars. Climate leaders warn that this decision hurts the US economy amid worsening disasters, but doors remain open for America to rejoin later. Checkout Solipillow.com
