Von Der Leyen Could Become New NATO Secretary General

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen could become the new NATO head in October of this year, the Sun tabloid reports, citing a diplomatic source.

A number of NATO member states have suggested that von der Leyen take over the alliance, the source said.

Nonetheless, the United Kingdom would likely veto Ursula von der Leyen's appointment due to her poor past performance as German Defense Minister, UK sources told the Sun on Friday.

Current NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is due to step down in the fall of 2023. Stoltenberg's term as secretary general was due to expire in October 2022, but it was extended for another year, until September 30, 2023, against the backdrop of the Ukraine crisis.
