U.S. President Joe Biden's administration will announce the United States' support for enlarging the Group of 20 major economies to include the African Union, according to a senior administration official.
The 54-nation A.U., a continental union headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is a needed voice and deserves a permament seat in the G-20 intergovernmental forum that represents 80% of the world's GDP, according to Judd Devermont, the White House National Security Council's senior director for African affairs.
