US continues to be 'a very significant partner', UN peacekeeping chief says

Speaking to FRANCE 24 at UN headquarters in New York, Lacroix insisted the US "is and will be and has been a critical partner to peacekeeping", despite Washington owing $3 billion in past dues and Congress yet to decide on future funding. He stopped short of any prediction, saying simply: "I'm hopeful that this will continue to be the case." Lacroix acknowledged, however, that "the financial constraints, especially last year, have led us to cut about 25 percent of our capacity".
