First on Fox: President Donald Trump’s administration has a profound impact on the United Nations Department of Safety and Safety (UNDSS) to cut USAID spending, according to the internal United Nations email according to the internal United Nations email shared with Fox News Digital.
In an email on Friday morning, Milan Victor Davoh, president of the United Nations Field Staff Union, wrote that the USAID funding cuts were removed from the “$ 30 million” “additional-budget (XB) resources, resulting in a significant decrease in staffing.”
Davoh’s email warns that the United Nations “currently experiencing its worst liquidity crisis since its establishment. The situation is expected to deteriorate before any improvement.”
Davoh said the UNDSS would lose 100 employees and its appearance would be abolished in 35 to 45 countries, while given that the remaining 120 countries would be installed “Regional Hub”, where UNDS will maintain a appearance. ,

The email states, “UNDS Under General Secretary) emphasized that UNDS is not a conservation agency, but a risk management and analysis unit.” “This distinction should be clearly informed to the employees.”
The department’s website describes UndSS as “a global leader in security risk management principles” and suggests that it enables “the safe and effective distribution of United Nations programs and activities, maximizing resources, in the most complex and challenging environment, maximizing resources.”
Fox News Digital asked Davoh about the authenticity of email and which part of the UNDSS budget was paid by USAID, but no response was received.

UN Secretary -General Antonio Guterres Deputy Spokesperson Farhan Haq told Fox News Digital that UNDS had received only $ 20 million from USAID last year. “USAID informed us that some of this funding have been abolished; other projects would continue with USAID support,” he said.
While the email of Davoh indicates that the disadvantage of the funding of UNDSS is related to the cut in additional budgetary resources, HAQ said that “is a relatively small ratio of the budget of the Additional Budget Financial Department of Additional Budget F funding from USAID, most of which comes from the United Nations’ regular budget, United Nations Cost-Eastern System and Peace Assistance account.”
According to HAQ, UndSS has 2,250 employees worldwide, “180,000 UN personnel supporting the safety to enable and enabling operations.” Haq said that “Most of the workforce of the department is in the area, the United Nations personnel serving the most dangerous places of the United Nations with a very low percentage at New York Headquarters are worth effective security as they work to save lives.”

Haq said that on March 19, an email sent to several Mailing Groups of the United Nations. An employee at the United Nations Headquarters was unrelated to the UndSS, mentioning the closure of funding-related closure of the entrance. “Funding for the UNHQ campus does not come from usaid,” Haq explained. He said that temporary closed results, instead, does not pay the outstanding amount of some member states.
A source of the United Nations said on condition of anonymity that amid financial uncertainty, the United Nations employees are “very frightened by their immediate future.” The source said that concerns include the ability to collect pension and reach the United Nations Union Credit Union accounts. The source indicated that because “most of these employees who are losing their jobs are. On the G -4 visa,” change can also affect their ability to live in America.
“This is only a implication beyond losing the jobs of individuals. It affects families, and it can be massive with new cuts in the coming weeks that will affect the UN agencies.”
