Stoltenberg likely to be asked to remain as NATO chief for another year

WASHINGTON - Jens Stoltenberg is expected to be asked to remain as NATO secretary general for another year, according to a source familiar with the discussions and a U.S. official, after the alliance has struggled to decide on a replacement ahead of a mid-July summit in Lithuania.

"The administration is coming around the idea of Stoltenberg staying on for another year," said the U.S. official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity.Chances of Stoltenberg being asked to extend his tenure for a fourth time have increased as the summit in Vilnius has neared, with allies fearing a show of disunity as NATO continues to respond to Russia's war in Ukraine.

British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace declared last week that he would like the job. But, as some governments push for a first female NATO secretary-general, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is also emerging as a serious contender.
