UN Cuts 2026 Budget Amid US Payment Delays

The United Nations has decided to reduce its budget for next year by 7% because the United States hasn't paid what it owes.

This means the UN will have less money to spend, and they plan to cut almost 3,000 jobs.

The UN's leader, Antonio Guterres, has been trying to save money for months.

The US usually pays a big part of the UN's budget, but they haven't paid their bills for this year or last year.

The US says the UN spends too much money and wants it to focus on stopping wars instead.

Other parts of the UN, like Unicef and Unesco, are also having money problems and will cut back too.
