The United States Of America has withdrawn funding for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).
BBC reports that this is the first of the promised cuts to US financial contributions to the UN by the Trump administration. In total $32.5m (£26m) in funds is being withdrawn for the 2017 financial year.
The money that had been allocated to the UNFPA for the fiscal year 2017 will be "transferred and reprogrammed to the Global Health Programs account," the state department said.
