United Nations faces unprecedented liquidity crisis following DOGE USAID cuts
[FOXNEWS] President Donald Trump's administration's use of Elon Musk's DOGE to cut USAID spending is having a deep impact on the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS), according to internal U.N. emails shared with Fox News Digital.

In an email sent early Friday morning, president of the U.N. Field Staff Union, Milan Victor Dawoh wrote that the USAID funding cut resulted in "approximately $30 million" having been "removed from the extra-budgetary (XB) resources, resulting in a significant reduction in staffing."

Dawoh's email warns that the U.N. "is currently experiencing its worst liquidity crisis since its establishment. The situation is expected to deteriorate further before any improvement occurs."

Dawoh said that UNDSS will lose 100 employees and that its presence will be eliminated in 35 to 45 countries, while noting that "regional hubs" will be established "in the remaining 120 countries where UNDSS will maintain a presence."
The poor darlings.

Given all the $$$$$ the US Taxpayers have given the UN and even supported its missions with US Lives.

A UN person might think and remember the source of its very being and income. Because out of 193 groups and nations we're #1 at over 20% and not counting the lives we have given.
