"I think President Biden, and you will hear him talk about this a little bit more next week, we have been clear that we believe that it is time to take a look at the architecture of the Security Council. We believe it should be more inclusive and more comprehensive," Kirby said in an interview with a British newspaper.
When asked if this means that Washington will propose changing the veto rules or the membership structure, Kirby said "we just think it’s time to have a discussion about the architecture in the organization. I think President Biden, the United States, would support more members."
