United Nations to cut 25% of global peacekeeping force due to funding shortfalls

The United Nations is preparing to reduce its global peacekeeping force by approximately 25% in the coming months due to significant funding shortfalls. This decision is primarily linked to decreased contributions from the United States.

The reduction is expected to impact thousands of troops across various missions. This move reflects the U.S. government"s decision to scale back its financial commitments, a shift associated with President Donald Trump’s “America First” policy.

This development comes amid ongoing discussions regarding international funding and support for peacekeeping operations. For more on related coverage, see our article on the ceasefire in Gaza.
