US to cut UN funding by 9 times
State Department acknowledged the need to adapt UN structures
The US will cut funding for UN humanitarian programs by a factor of nine compared to previous years, announced the Associated Press (AP). In an official statement, the US Department of State emphasized that UN agencies must 'adapt, downsize, or die' under the proposed cuts. This decision is part of a new policy to reduce the US budget as part of a reassessment of its international commitments. Until now, the UN has been considered one of the largest recipients of US humanitarian funding.
