UN Approves 2026 Budget Cuts Amid Financial Crisis

The United Nations has decided to cut its budget for next year by 7% because it doesn't have enough money.

This means they will have to reduce the number of people working for them by almost 3,000.

The main reason for this is that the United States, which usually pays a big part of the UN's budget, hasn't paid what it owes.

The UN's leader, Antonio Guterres, had suggested even bigger cuts, but the final budget approved is a bit higher than what he proposed.

The US has been criticizing the UN for spending too much money and wants the organization to focus more on stopping wars and less on other things.

Other parts of the UN, like Unicef and Unesco, are also facing money problems and will have to cut back as well.
