US President George W. Bush suggested on Monday that the United States does not oppose Germany 's bid to get into the United Nations Security Council.

"We oppose no country's bid for the Security Council," Bush said as he met at the White House with visiting German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.

"I was very pleased, indeed, to hear that there was no opposition, vis-a-vis Germany as such, from the president," Schroeder said through an interpreter.

"Since we are doing all these things internationally, we would very much hope that at some point in time we could also have a right to representation on the Security Council if there were the space," he said.

The United States has so far supported only Japan's bid to become a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
