Name the European Union Country that is a permanent member of the United National Security Council:

France

The correct answer is Option 2 - France

The EU also has political and diplomatic influence. One member of the EU, France, holds a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. The EU includes several non-permanent members of the UNSC. This has enabled the EU to influence some US policies such as the current US position on Iran’s nuclear programme. Its use of diplomacy, economic investments, and negotiations rather than coercion and military force has been effective as in the case of its dialogue with China on human rights and environmental degradation.
