After UK\u2019s Defense Minister Ben Wallace was discarded as the next leader of NATO, current Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg, as expected, was handed another 12 months in charge.<\/p>\n

But it is now believed that US President Biden has set his ailing mind on the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to occupy this important job.<\/p>\n

Daily Mail<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\u201cEuropean Commission President\u00a0Ursula von der Leyen\u00a0is\u00a0Joe Biden\u2019s preferred candidate to lead\u00a0Nato\u00a0after\u00a0Ben Wallace\u2019s bid was blocked, it was reported.<\/p>\n

[\u2026] A Nato source told the Telegraph that Mr. Biden was attempting to convince Mrs. von der Leyen, a former German defence minister, to succeed Mr. Stoltenberg.<\/p>\n

Another source said Mr. Biden and Mrs. von der Leyen have built \u2018a strong bond\u2019 in recent years, fostering close transatlantic ties over China, Ukraine and the climate.<\/p>\n

Ms. von der Leyen visited the White House in March, when the US and the EU announced the beginning of negotiations of a critical minerals agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Norwegian prime minister, Stoltenberg said he was \u2018honored\u2019 by the decision and \u2018in a more dangerous world, our alliance is more important than ever\u2019.<\/p>\n

The National<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\u201cA fluent French and English speaker, the German politician also has the support of French President Emmanuel Macron who is keen to have a strong EU presence inside the alliance.<\/p>\n

The previous two Nato leaders have come from countries \u2013 Norway and Denmark \u2013 that are not as committed to the EU project as others.<\/p>\n

\u2018There is in the United States a strong support for Ursula von der Leyen\u2019, said the Nato insider. \u2018She has a very close relationship with the Americans and they\u2019ve been working closely together on China, on data and greening the economy. The Americans like her\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. von der Leyen can\u2019t leave her post before 2024, so Washington persuaded Mr. Stoltenberg, to stay for another year.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2019The French in particular, who have got a lot of support from the other EU countries, want this\u2019, the Nato source said. \u2018As a result of Ukraine, the Europeans are spending a lot of money on ammunition and kit and the EU and Nato are working closer together so they are saying we want a Secretary General who represents the EU in Nato\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

NATO\u2019s Secretary General is usually chosen by consensus between the members. Ms von der Leyen has been praised for her work at the EC presidency, but has been criticized for her previous years as Germany\u2019s defense minister.<\/p>\n
