The facts
The Trump administration notified Congress in August 2026 of plans to pay $725 million toward U.S. arrears at the United Nations.
The United States is assessed roughly 22% of the UN regular budget and about 25% of the peacekeeping budget, the largest share of any member state.
As of early 2025, the U.S. owed the UN over $2.8 billion in unpaid regular and peacekeeping contributions, according to UN financial reports.
President Trump signed an executive order in February 2025 withdrawing the U.S. from the UN Human Rights Council and cutting funding to UNRWA.
Under Section 19 of the UN Charter, a member more than two years behind on dues can lose its vote in the General Assembly.
