UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations said Monday it’s waiting to find out how much of the nearly $4 billion the United States owes the world organization the Trump administration intends to pay and when the money will arrive.
The U.S. Mission to the United Nations confirmed that U.S. Ambassador Mike Waltz said the Trump administration planned to make a significant down payment on its arrears in a matter of weeks, with the final amount still to be determined. His comments were first reported by Reuters.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned last week that the world body faces “imminent financial collapse” unless its financial rules are overhauled or all 193 member nations pay their dues, a message clearly directed at the United States.
A Trump never pays thier bills.
It’s quite something when I really can’t decide if Joffrey would be a preferable king compared to Trump

Deposit it as legal tender in a bank and the UN is good to go again. The 4 billion should help pay to move UN headquarters out of a fascist shithole country. I recommend either Montreal, Dublin or Lisbon.

Money isn’t real. It is hand-wavy, because it’s just an idea.

Depositing a $2 trillion dollar coin to reduce the nominal debt would itself have relatively little impact on the.value of the dollar, since it’s just in the essentially fake books of the US national government. Dollars, after all, are just coupons for “I am worth $1 towards any US government debt or court judgement.”
Depositing a $2 billion coin with the UN, in contrast, would have exactly the same inflationary pressure as giving 200,000,000 Americans 2000 $1 coins.
UN in Montreal would be banger. As a bonus, France would be forced to take québécois seriously
I vote for Bern.
Jerusalem.
It can be where the UN standing army will be based.
If trump creates a new fiat currency token and says the US backs it, couldnt the UN can put that token in the bank and their balance would read 4 billion, right?
Thats such a classic Trump FAFO move, I wouldnt be surprised if he tried it. They cant even do corruption correctly.
Stop giving them ideas
Going to be waiting a long time for that shithole to pay its debts.
Best we can do is install a Zionist owned mass surveillance system and give that money we owe you and all your data to Israel
Sorry, Israel needs that money for war and genocide.
Inb4 Trump places tariffs on and sues the UN
Congress could pass a bill to send payment directly, bypassing the president, if they republicans really wanted to. Assuming the Dems would support it, I suppose. You never know with them.
Actually, I suppose Israel wouldnt support it because they hate the UN, so the Dems wouldnt support it. When you come down to it, Israel controls this situation. The US funds 30% of the UN’s budget and the US congress works for Israel.
Why would Israel hate the UN when they control veto power?
I’m sure he will pay it any day now
Knowing Trump he will try to file bankruptcy
