With two of out every five member states of the United Nations not yet having paid their dues for 2018, the world body says it has never been so far behind in receiving contributions by this time of the year, and officials are looking for belt-tightening options.
Among the 81 countries yet to pay, by far the biggest amount due is the United States’ contribution of $591.3 million, which comprises 22 percent of the total regular budget for 2018.
Next up are Brazil ($102.7 million, or 3.8 percent of the budget), Saudi Arabia ($30.8 million, 1.14 percent) and Argentina ($23.9 million, 0.89 percent).
The U.N. asks member states by pay by early February of each year, but as of July 25, only 112 of the 193 had done so. Together, the contributions from those 112 countries amounted to $1.67 billion. The total U.N. regular budget for 2018 is $2.69 billion.

Best News of the Day!!
Kick these bums out of New York, sell the building and the land, and tell them to go set up shop in Brussels or the Hague where their kind are welcomed with open arms.
Wonderful news!
“UN Chief: UN ‘Running Out of Cash’”
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Jolly Good!
Stay that way!
++++++++++++++++++++
Well it’s time for major cutbacks
“Our cash flow has never been this low so early in the calendar year, and the broader trend is also concerning: We are running out of cash sooner and staying in the red longer.”
Donald, send them a quarter and tell them to call someone who cares!
MAGA!!!
The US should lower it’s contributions to 2%. And refuse to pay a dime until the rest of the countries pay up on their agreed 2%. Everything should be equal here.
Among the 81 countries yet to pay, by far the biggest amount due is the United States’ contribution of $591.3 million, which comprises 22 percent of the total regular budget for 2018.
$590 million will pay for a lot of wall between the biggest meddler in our country and politics. (see my tagline).
We can donate a 1.3 million as our fair share.
If U.N. member states believe "they are not being treated with the hostly consideration that is their due," they should consider "removing themselves and this organization from the soil of the United States....We will put no impediment in your way. The members of the United States mission to the United Nations will be down at the dockside waving you a fond farewell as you sail off into the sunset."
I guess the kids will be told to “Trick or Treat for UNICEF” again...
un = deadbeats and grifters intent only on enriching themselves using other peoples money.
Good, the UN is a complete waste of money.
Socialist institution having money problems? You don’t say.
Amateurs. Put Hillary Clinton in charge of the thing and they’d be swimming in cash inside a single fiscal year. And be no more corrupt than they already are.
Sucks to be them. Get it from one of your pet nations.
My thoughts stay in the UN until 2024 then tell them to find a new home. Force a vote to move them to a socialist country like Cuba or Venezuela or Germany. Drop our total contributions down to 2% and get Congress to [ass a bill so stating for future fools from getting us in the crapola....
Good.
