The US currently owes the UN some $1.5 billion, and according to the UN Charter, it could lose its vote

What happens if the US doesn't transfer the funds?
High-ranking UN diplomats said they had learned of the decision through news reports and the White House's social media accounts, with no formal communication reaching the organization from the US administration, Dujarric said.

The list of UN initiatives include a key climate treaty and a UN body that promotes gender equality and women's empowerment. According to Trump, the initiatives "operate contrary to US national interests."

The US is the UN regular budget's top contributor, paying the maximum 22% as the world's largest economy, with the payments being mandatory.

The US currently owes the organization some $1.5 billion, and according to the UN Charter, it would lose its vote in the General Assembly should it not pay its dues.

1. Okay, well, respectfully...

I don't think the UN is going to strip the US of our "vote".

And if we were to lose our vote in the General Assembly, it doesn't mean very much when we are a mandated member of the security council with a veto.
