The United Nations has adopted a “leaner, better prioritized” regular budget for 2026 that saves $570 million and cuts nearly 2,900 posts, Jeff Bartos, U.S. representative for U.N. management and reform, said in a Dec. 30 post on X.
These are “unprecedented reforms that represent an important first step to make the UN more accountable, more disciplined and better equipped to deliver real results,” Bartos wrote. “The United States will continue to advance President Trump’s vision for a back-to-basics UN that meets its full potential.”
