's six official languages. And the fountain outside U.N. headquarters paid for by U.S. school children and opened in 1952 shut down.
U.N. management chief Catherine Pollard told the General Assembly's budget committee on Friday that 128 countries had paid $1.99 billion in dues for the U.N.'s 2019 operating budget by Oct. 4. For the second successive year, she said, the U.N. has exhausted"all regular budget liquidity reserves," despite several measures it has taken to reduce expenditures.
Pollard told a news conference that countries"have their own internal reasons"for delaying paying their dues,"and for many of them it's their own political internal situations." There was no immediate response to a request to the U.S. State Department for comment on when the Trump administration plans to pay its arrears.
