UN Chief Warns of ‘Imminent Financial Collapse,’ Begs for Donations
by Frank Bergman
The United Nations (UN) is sounding the alarm as it edges toward a full-blown financial crisis that could cripple the unelected globalist organization’s worldwide operations within months.
In a stark letter sent to all 193 member states in late January, Secretary-General António Guterres warned that the UN could run out of cash by July unless countries immediately pay what they owe, or radically rewrite the organization’s financial rules to avoid what he described as an “imminent financial collapse.”
The warning exposes a system buckling under massive unpaid dues, mounting deficits, and internal rules that force the UN to refund money it never actually received.
According to Guterres, only 77 percent of assessed contributions for 2025 were paid.
It leaves the organization staring at a record $1.568 billion in outstanding dues, more than double the amount from the previous year.
Assessed contributions are mandatory payments calculated based on each country’s economic strength.
The United States, the UN’s largest funder, typically covers about 22 percent of the regular budget, according to Breitbart News.
But under President Donald Trump, the U.S. sharply curtailed its funding.
The Trump administration declined to pay the full 2025 regular budget assessment and covered just 30 percent of peacekeeping costs.
In addition, Trump also withdrew from more than 30 UN agencies and programs, citing inefficiency, waste, and misalignment with American interests.
That pullback has sent shockwaves through the UN’s finances.
Guterres admitted the organization is now being hit by what he called a “double blow.”
