United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned the US that it is obligated to pay its dues, after the Trump administration announced its withdrawal from dozens of UN agencies.

On Wednesday, the White House said it was withdrawing from 66 international organizations, about half of which were affiliated with the UN.

"Assessed contributions to the UN regular budget and the peacekeeping budget, as approved by the General Assembly, are a legal obligation under the UN Charter for all Member States, including the US," Guterres' spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, said in a statement on Thursday.

Dujarric added that the affected programs will continue to carry out their tasks.

"The UN has a responsibility to provide assistance to those who depend on us," he said.

The decision taken by the administration of US President Donald Trump also means that the country will stop funding other global initiatives that are not linked to the UN.

US officials have spoken of their intention to halt billions of dollars in aid and funding for international organizations like the UN since Trump officially entered his second term as president.

Other countries, such as France and the United Kingdom, are also reviewing their humanitarian funding, with some countries diverting funds to military spending. /DW
