U.N. official: U.S. is $1.2 billion in arrears at U.N.

(Reuters) - The United States owes $1.2 billion to the United Nations, more than a quarter of the payments owed the world body by all member states, a senior U.N. official said on Thursday.

As the United Nations' single biggest contributor, Washington is responsible for roughly one-quarter of the U.N. peacekeeping budget and slightly less than a quarter of the separate U.N. regular budget.

  1. It's time we stop being the single biggest contributor to countries who don't give a damn about the U.S.
    We should keep all of our money at home and take care of our own citizens.
