The United Nations faces an acute crisis as funding shortfalls intensify, particularly due to potential cuts from the US, its largest contributor. The US administration is reviewing its international commitments, including the UN, which could lead to significant funding reductions or even withdrawal. Trump's dismantling of USAID and related humanitarian aid has already hindered UN operations. The viability of the UN, established to uphold global peace and security, is now jeopardized by financial crises, geopolitical conflicts, and non-compliance with international laws, resulting in rising tensions and instability worldwide.
The United Nations has long faced funding shortfalls, and the situation has worsened as the US considers cutting funds and possibly withdrawing from membership.
Trump's actions, including the elimination of USAID and aid programs, have severely impacted UN humanitarian operations that depend on discretionary funding.
The UN's fundamental role in maintaining global peace and security is threatened by current actions, with over 40 countries also behind on their dues.
If the UN collapses or is weakened significantly, there will be no alternative to uphold international order, leading to potential chaos.
