US has promised to make an initial payment toward its delayed dues to the United Nations, a move that comes as the international body faces a severe liquidity crisis. United Nations officials confirmed on February 9, 2026, that while the promise has been made, they are still awaiting specific details regarding the timing and the exact amounts of the anticipated payment. This commitment is seen as a critical step for the organization, as the United States is currently responsible for more than 95 percent of the outstanding regular-budget dues, totaling billions of dollars.
