Recently, Trump has been talking about the financial problems of the UN, which are currently in a crisis. He said he could deal with this situation in the same way he handles NATO payments—by forcing countries that have debts to pay them.

According to reports, Trump emphasized that if he were the one in charge, all countries would have to make good on their contributions. But interestingly, he wasn’t clear about whether the United States itself would pay off its own debt. That makes it quite an intriguing question.

The UN’s problems have actually been around for a long time—many countries don’t pay their contributions in an orderly, regular way, so this international organization is facing fairly serious financial pressure. With the current head of the UN trying to address this crisis, the question is whether Trump’s approach—like the one he suggested—could truly be effective or whether it might instead make things more complicated. Anyway, this has become a topic worth watching on the international stage.
