Wallace, a UK minister, rejects the position of NATO supremo.

Ben Wallace, the defense minister for the United Kingdom, has disqualified himself from consideration to succeed Jens Stoltenberg as NATO secretary general.

Wallace predicted that “it’s not going to happen” and noted that NATO still has many outstanding problems.

The U.S., he claimed, wants Stoltenberg to continue in his position.

When he met with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at the White House earlier in the month, US President Joe Biden declared that he would back a NATO leader from the UK.

He said Wallace was “very qualified,” but added that it is “to be seen” if she would be hired.

Prior to his visit to the White House, Sunak claimed that Wallace enjoys high regard all across the world. “Ben does an excellent job. He is a fantastic defense secretary, Sunak declared at the beginning of June.

“Ben is well-liked by his coworkers all throughout the world.

We’re one of the few nations that takes part in each and every NATO mission. In NATO, we are largely regarded as a thinking leader.
