Final answer:

China, France, Russia, and United Kingdom are the other nations with permanent seats on the UN Security Council.

Step-by-step explanation:

The four other nations that have permanent seats on the UN Security Council, along with the United States, are China, France, Russia, and United Kingdom. These five nations are known as the Permanent Five (P5) and were the victors of World War II.

They have the power to veto any Security Council action, even if the other 14 states on the Council agree with it.
