According to the interlocutor of the agency, the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance are still trying to reach a consensus on the successor to Stoltenberg. US President Joe Biden praises a number of possible candidates for the head of the Alliance, especially Danish Prime Minister Matte Frederiksen. But it has become clear to the US and other allies that there is still no agreement among the allies on a candidate to head NATO.
The interlocutor said that Stoltenberg’s tenure could buy time to reach a consensus.
The extension of Stoltenberg’s term until 2024 will make it possible to wait for the emergence of new candidates, because elections in the European Union will take place this year.
