Biden will host outgoing NATO secretary-general Stoltenberg as competition to replace him heats up

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will welcome outgoing NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg to the White House for talks on Tuesday as the competition to find his successor to lead the military alliance heats up. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby would not comment on whether Biden would ask Stoltenberg to extend again, but praised the former Norwegian prime minister for doing a “superb job” heading the alliance. A British government official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said ahead of Sunak’s visit that the British leader wants to be sure the next secretary general “carries on Stoltenberg’s good work of modernization but also understands the importance of defense spending at this critical time.” Denmark has lagged behind NATO’s target for members to spend 2% of gross domestic product on military budgets by 2030. But the centrist government announced late last month that it would look to invest 143 billion kroner in the country’s defense over the next decade, citing a “serious threat picture.” At Monday’s White House briefing, Kirby did not directly answer whether Biden could support someone from a country lagging on the defense spending benchmark.
