The US is cutting the UN's budget by more than a quarter of a billion dollars
$285m. That's the amount expected to be slashed from the UN's operating budget next year.
The US says it negotiated the cut, to eliminate what it calls "inefficiency and overspending" by the organisation.
The move comes after a tense week for the UN. The General Assembly voted to condemn the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move its embassy there.
