转自：长安街知事 据@CCTV国际时讯 消息，当地时间2月13日，在德国慕尼黑安全会议的一场讨论会上，美国常驻联合 国代表迈克尔·华尔兹现场展示了一顶印有"让联合国再次伟大"（MAKE THE UN GREAT AGAIN， MUNGA）字样的蓝色帽子，称这顶帽子很受欢迎。 他还声称，美国将对联合国进行改革，使其更符合实际需求，总统特朗普将为联合国带来过去十年间为 北约带来的改变。 如同特朗普对待北约。特朗普一直表示对北约不信任，公开质疑北约在美国需要时是否会给予支持，要 求北约其他成员国提高国防支出。特朗普近日还在瑞士达沃斯接受采访时称，美国"从来没有需要过"北 约。 今年1月，多名知情人士披露，美国将从北约及其下属机构中裁撤约200个岗位，涉及近30个组织。此举 进一步加剧了欧洲的担忧。 长安街知事（微信ID：Capitalnews）注意到，美国近期对联合国加大了关注，突然宣布将向联合国支付 欠费，但具体何时还、怎么还、还多少、什么条件，还尚未说明。 华尔兹本月初在接受媒体采访时透露，美国将在数周内向联合国支付一笔初始款项，用以偿还其拖欠的 数十亿美元会费，同时强调联合国必须持续推进改革。 截至2026年 ...

联合国官员表示，联合国常规预算95%的欠款来自美国。 该联合国官员称，拖欠法定常规会费的国家中，委内瑞拉位居第二，欠款3800万美元。这个南美国家在 1月美国军事突袭推翻时任总统尼古拉斯・马杜罗之前，经济就已陷入困境，因连续两年拖欠会费，该 国已失去在联合国大会的投票权。 联合国周一表示，其正等待确认特朗普政府打算支付美国所欠该国际组织近40亿美元中的多少款项，以 及这笔资金何时到账。 联合国秘书长安东尼奥・古特雷斯上周警告称，除非联合国的财务规则得到彻底改革，或所有193个成 员国缴纳会费，否则这个国际组织将面临"迫在眉睫的财政崩溃"，这一信息显然是针对美国的。 据一名联合国官员透露，美国拖欠联合国常规运作预算21.96亿美元，其中包括今年的7.67亿美元。美国 还拖欠联合国遍布全球的维和行动专项预算18亿美元，且这笔欠款还将继续增加。 美国驻联合国代表团证实，美国常驻联合国代表迈克・沃尔兹表示，特朗普政府计划在几周内为欠款支 付一笔可观的预付款，最终金额尚未确定，路透社率先报道了他的这一言论。 联合国发言人斯特凡纳・迪雅里克周一向记者表示，古特雷斯与沃尔兹"保持沟通已有相当长一段时 间"，联合国主计长也一 ...

据新华社，美国总统特朗普2月1日接受美国媒体电话采访时称，他能"轻松"解决联合国财政危机，但他 绝口不提美国是否会支付拖欠的联合国会费。 就在上周五（1月30日），联合国秘书长古特雷斯致信所有193个成员国，警告因成员国拖欠会费，联合 国正面临"迫在眉睫的财政崩溃"风险。 2025年，联合国成员国的总会费缴纳率仅为77%。 据报道，作为联合国的最大出资方，美国在2025年既未缴纳经常预算会费，也仅支付了其维和摊款的 30%。联合国数据显示，2025年成员国的总会费缴纳率仅为77%，拖欠总额高达15.6亿美元，较前一年 翻倍。 今年1月，特朗普签署行政命令，宣布退出包括31个联合国机构在内的66个国际组织。白宫声称，此举 旨在"终止美国纳税人为那些将全球主义议程置于美国优先之上的实体提供资金"。 联合国资金困境 古特雷斯称，联合国正经历一场"不断加深、并威胁到项目执行"的财政危机，现有资金可能在今年7月 耗尽。他写道，联合国历史上也曾遭遇财务危机，但当前局面"截然不同"。他虽未点名具体国家，但明 确表示"已有成员国正式宣布不履行其在已批准经常预算中应承担的重大分摊义务"。 根据联合国规定，各成员国每年应缴的会费 ...

美国总统特朗普表示，他原本可以通过强迫那些拖欠联合国会费的国家偿清债务，以此解决联合国面临 的财务问题。特朗普接受访时说："如果他们来找特朗普，并告诉他这个事，我就会迫使所有人付清， 就像我迫使北约付款那样"。报道称，美国领导人并未具体说明美国是否会偿还自己所欠的债务。由于 多个国家未支付会费，联合国正经历财务危机。 ...
