Biden's NATO Agenda: Rescheduling Meetings and Choosing a New Secretary-General.

TL;DR Summary
Europe is waiting for the US to endorse a new candidate or extend the term of NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, who is slated to leave in September after nearly 10 years at the helm. While the NATO chief is technically chosen by consensus, the White House’s endorsement carries heavy weight. The foot-dragging has left NATO in limbo, with all eyes turning to Washington as the clock ticks down to NATO’s annual summit in July. Possible contenders include Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, but there are challenges to both candidates.
