Reuters. The United States will give the United Nations money to strengthen it and help make it viable, President Donald Trump told the opening meeting of his Board of Peace on Thursday (February 19).
"We're going to strengthen up the United Nations. We're going to make sure its facilities are good. They need help ...we're going to help them money-wise, and we're going to make sure the United Nations is viable," said Trump.
The U.S. is the biggest contributor to the U.N. budget, but under the Trump administration it has refused to make mandatory payments to regular and peacekeeping budgets, and slashed voluntary funding to U.N. agencies with their own budgets.
