It could be time for a British NATO Secretary General, according to US President Joe Biden.

Amid growing speculation that UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace wants to take over the top role when Jens Stoltenberg stands down later this year, Mr Biden was asked if he would support a Briton taking the top job during a press conference with Rishi Sunak at the White House.

 

Mr Biden was asked: "In light of the warm words right now about UK/US defence collaboration, particularly in Ukraine, do you think it is time for the first UK Nato Secretary General in two decades?"

The president replied: "Maybe, that remains to be seen."

Mr Biden added: "We're going to have to get a consensus within NATO to see that happen.

Go with Joe.

Every time I see Joe.

He reminds me of that old spitting image sketch

about Ronald Reagan. The presidents brain is missing. 

Was very funny back in the day.

Refreshing to once again have a U.S. President who understands the need to negotiate a consensus amongst America’s allies.
