Stoltenberg expected to continue as NATO chief for another year.
TL;DR
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg is likely to have his term extended as members struggle to agree on a replacement. President Joe Biden and his NATO counterparts are due to choose a successor when they meet for a summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, on July 11-12. However, no candidate has been proposed publicly, and leaders usually decide by consensus on who should be appointed. Biden made it clear to Stoltenberg that he would welcome him sticking around longer. Stoltenberg has been NATO’s top civilian official since 2014.
