Guterres said that while it is possible to have a vacuum in nature it is not so in international relations.

"If the United States disengages in relation to many aspects of foreign policy and many aspects of international relations, it will be unavoidable that other actors will occupy that space," the UN chief said. "I don't think this is good for the United States, and I don't think this is good for the world."

He also said the proposed budget sent to the U.S. Congress drastically cutting funding for the United Nations "would create an unsolvable problem to the management of the UN, but the process is still in the Congress."

Guterres said he would soon go to Washington to meet with members of Congress. "I think we always must engage positively and constructively with any administration in the world, but... so the financial question is still to be seen," he said.
