The backing from the US President is expected to garner greater support from allies for Rutte's nomination. | US President Joe Biden is reportedly endorsing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to succeed Jens Stoltenberg as the next NATO secretary-general, according to a US official cited by Politico on Wednesday. The backing from the US President is expected to garner greater support from allies for Rutte's nomination. ● Earlier on Wednesday, Politico stated that approximately two-thirds of NATO nations are currently supporting the nomination of Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte to assume leadership of NATO this year. However, it is crucial to note that the decision necessitates unanimous agreement among all NATO member states. The report also mentioned that Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and Latvian Foreign Minister Krisjanis Karins are not considered potential candidates as they have not officially submitted their candidacies, according to NATO officials.
