U.S. supports 2 permanent UNSC seats for Africa and 1 rotating seat for small island states.

The U.S. has announced support for two permanent United Nations Security Council seats for African nations and one rotating seat for small island developing states, as stated by U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield. This initiative aims to strengthen U.S. ties with Africa and Pacific Island nations while addressing concerns over China's influence. The proposal also aligns with President Biden's legacy and seeks to advance Security Council reform, which requires amending the U.N. Charter.
