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.

And Jimmy Durante is famous for saying “I’ve had a wonderful time, but this isn’t it.”
How is Venezuela not behind on paying? What are they paying with? Or are they exempt as a Socialist Totalitarian state? This is the UN, after all.....
Kick them out of NYC; they can hold their meetings in a hut in Ghana.
They're probably following the Zimbabwe model.
Guess their emmisaries will not be raping children in trade for food...because the UN jas no money for food
Hey, wasn’t it Durante that used to use the “Ah cha cha cha cha cha”, line?
There are approximately 190 nations in the UN. We should pay 1/190th of the assessment, no more.
Alger Hiss, that little commie traitor...
“There are approximately 190 nations in the UN. We should pay 1/190th of the assessment, no more.”
I’m of the opinion that the UN is, for the most part, anti-American. Therefore, the only monies we should be putting out re: the UN, is for it’s complete, total and utter destruction.
They could sell a nice piece of New York real-estate, and move into less expensive digs. Perhaps something in Ouagadougou ...
Thank Christ.
They could move to Europe.
Just claim immigrant status, they let beheaders and rapists in, so they will have no problem getting in just fine.
Haley should tell the UN that traffic tickets for UN personnel abusing New York’s laws coincidentally came out to 590 million.
To Hell with the UN.
Actually that’s NATO not the UN. Most countries pay more then two percent to the UN. For some reason countries like the UN more then NATO. NATO being more military. UN being humanitarian giving to the poor countries of the world. Very socialist organization.
Oops. I knew that. Been a long morning.
maybe if they moved to a less expensive location, such as Zimbabwe or Venezuela...
Let them run a lawn sale. Specially designed limos, designer suits, $2,500 shoes, money taken from charity programs intended for their peasants.
The old method of just bill the Americans won’t work any longer.
When UN staff and diplomats get arrested for rape or DWI or fatality accidents, they get off. Tickets are torn up. Charges are dropped. International incidents avoided with a phone call. Diplomatic immunity. As the old John Birchers said: UN out of the US and US out of the UN.
What agent will they use to sell the UN building. I'll buy it to open up a museum of Socialism...
