Do you really regard the United Nations as your own backyard? Trump really made a big mistake this time. According to the information disclosed on September 29, The United States has owed as much as $3.07 billion in UN duesFor the "bandit nature" of the United States, not paying money is not the most shameless thing. They have always regarded the United Nations as their own tool to suppress dissidents.
Colombian President Petro was originally attending a meeting at the United Nations, but his visa to the United States was revoked by the United States and became an "illegal detention"It seems that the move of the United Nations headquarters to China will soon be on the agenda!
1. Trump's political performance
Just on the same day on September 28, the Trump team was still writing a political drama using the United Nations headquarters ladder failure incident. The specific situation is that when Trump and Melania ride the ladder at the United Nations headquarters, because the accompanying photographer's mis-touch sensor system caused the ladder to temporarily shut down, technicians verified that the simple equipment was misreported, and no one interfered, but this incident directly angered Trump.
Originally, there was no excuse to bombard the United Nations, but now it has begun to distort it in public as "the United Nations facilities are old and have hostile arrangements." A White House spokesman even hinted that “United Nations personnel deliberately created security threats.”Even the Fox News host of the United States has taken the opportunity to hype, openly throwing out the extreme remarks of “exploding the United Nations” and “the United States should completely withdraw from the United Nations” in the live broadcast, and has unexpectedly upgraded this technology to “the confrontation of the United States and the United Nations of the century”.
Although the spokesman of the United Nations Secretary-General subsequently announced the findings of the investigation It was confirmed that the incident was a technical mistake, but U.S. hype has had a negative impact on the credibility of the UN., and we really need to get to the bottom of this matter and find out the reason. In fact, there is only one truth, and that was done by the United States!
As the United States is announced to be indebted to the United Nations $30.7 billion, including $8.26 billion in the 2025 regular budget, and annual peacekeeping funds, more so, the Trump team recently clearly announced, The refusal to pay $3.93 billion in peacekeeping funds and $4.45 billion in peacekeeping aid is the core cause of the UN’s financial crisis.。
The United Nations can only cut the budget, humanitarian cuts, 15% of the budget directly cut, 19% of the jobs say no, the size of the peacekeeping forces has also shrunk 13%, several departments have to be merged, this is not a digital game, Syria, Yemen refugees are not able to eat fast, the peacekeeping forces in the Sahel region of Africa patrol less than half, local extremists are on the run and robbed, this is the direct impact of the United States is not paying money, of course, the United Nations lifts have no funds for repair, and should be counted in this bill.
What's even more irritating is that while the United States defaults on its debts, it has the cheek to ask the United Nations to provide logistics for the military operations in the Red Sea led by it. Isn't this "asking the horses to run again, and asking the horses not to eat grass?" Representatives of France and other countries couldn't help but say directly: “It’s taking financial hegemony to kidnap the United Nations!”On the other hand, for Trump, the money I can not give you, but cheap can not not not not take up the "only right to not take responsibility" gesture, but also occasionally annoy others!
2. Trump made a big mistake this time
At 10 o'clock on the evening of September 26th, the United States revoked Colombian President Petro's visa, which directly caused public outrage in the international community. The United States did so, In essence, it is the hegemony of arming visa, which is the core bottom line of the global diplomatic system.Since, in accordance with the 1947 United Nations Headquarters Agreement, As the host country, the United States must guarantee the right of delegations from all countries to "enter the conference without hindrance"。
This is the legal prerequisite for the United Nations headquarters to survive in New York. However, the United States directly revoked Petro's visa during his participation in the meeting this time, which is equivalent to alienating the visa right into a "diplomatic disciplinary tool." The Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs denounced it in the announcement “Visa arming undermines the spirit of the UN Charter”, Colombia Interior Minister Benedetti's rhetorical question went straight to the point: "It's Netanyahu, not Petro, who should revoke the visa!"
The Gaza policy led by Netanyahu has been repeatedly identified by the United Nations as suspected of violating international humanitarian law, but has never been held accountable by the United States. However, Petro spoke out for Palestine, but instead was banned from his visa. This kind of "those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish" operation has completely exposed the collusion between the United States and Israel and the double standards of American "justice".
Petro is not a soft persimmon. In the face of U.S. censure, he directly chooses to be tough: "If you don't let me come to America, then let's move the United Nations somewhere else!" He proposed to move the headquarters out of New York, and all 145 countries that supported Palestine responded, all of which were tired of U.S. visa hegemony. Even the secretary-general of the United Nations quietly pushed for the “decentralization” of the United Nations, moving part of the core business out of New York, was clearly a complete lack of confidence in the United States.Behind this gradual adjustment is the collapse of the international community's trust in the role of the United States as a host country.
It is also worth mentioning that Trump is now very temperamental. In addition to making things difficult for his opponents, he also refuses to let go of allies. This is the classic picture of presidents of various countries making way for Trump that has been making trouble recently. Starting in late September, Trump’s fleet, based on “security needs”, temporarily blocked New York’s core roads on several occasions, resulting in multinational heads of state forced to wait or change itineraries, such as French President Macron being stopped by police while leaving the United Nations headquarters and then calling Trump a whistle.
But in the end, they could only walk for half an hour to the consulate. It seems that the friendship between the two is just that. When it comes to phone calls to do business, Trump will selectively ignore the friendship between the United States and Europe, and Li Zaiming also encountered this embarrassment. In the scene, his security team repeatedly negotiated with the police without success, and finally gave up the ride and waited on the sidewalk for several minutes before leaving on foot.
Moving to China is not an idea.
Even Turkish President Erdogan encountered a similar interception. The scene showed displeasure but had no choice but to wait., foreign heads of state usually coordinate transportation routes in advance during their visits to the United States, but the Trump motorcade deliberately breaks the tacit understanding, Accurately intercepted three foreign leaders within four days, and all three countries supported the "two-state solution". Obviously, they were deliberately embarrassed because they had provoked the United States., and Trump's methods are completely "kindergarten" style, clearly telling everyone that if you make me unhappy, I will make you sad, and his methods are so crude that people are speechless. To sum up, you must make way in my territory.
Compared to the United States, China, regardless of its diplomatic ceremony or style, is more popular, taking the UN contributions, China has been paying the UN contributions in full for many years in a row. No delinquencies recorded as of 2025, in stark contrast to cumulative delinquencies in the United StatesAt the same time, China strictly abides by the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, and has never experienced visa politicization issues similar to those of the United States when hosting international organizations. This "consistency of rules" is in line with the core demands of the United Nations for the host country.
Therefore, in early September this year, Russian State Duma Deputy Chairman Levichev publicly stated that The UN reform could consider moving key sectors to China or Brazil, based on the fact that “China, as a subsidiary of the UN Second General Assembly, has long-term international obligations, and UN resolutions are frequently politicized because of their headquarters in New York.”In the past, the Russian Federation Committee has repeatedly been forced to be absent from the United Nations meeting because of the U.S. refusal to obtain visas, and its proposal includes protests against the abuse of U.S. privileges as well as recognition of China’s stability in the multilateral system.
Although Petro did not specify that he hoped the United Nations would move to China, But when calling for the United Nations headquarters to move away from New York, he emphasized that "it should be moved to a more democratic area that respects multilateral rules."Before and after his statement, China was intensively welcoming the settlement of United Nations agencies. This temporal correlation has been interpreted by international public opinion as an indirect recognition of "China as a potential destination for relocation."
In summary, many member states calling for “the move of the United Nations headquarters from the United States” is essentially now the majority of the world’s countries are increasingly disobedient to the United States, with the rebuilding of the international order, and in the near future, the United Nations headquarters move to China, is no longer an illusion, but a practical and hopeful thing.
