The much-anticipated decision to formally ask Stoltenberg to extend his tenure for another year is expected to happen relatively soon, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NATO members are scheduled to hold their annual summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, on July 11-12. President Joe Biden conveyed to Stoltenberg during their&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/06\/12\/biden-hosts-nato-secretary-as-competition-grows-to-replace-him\/\" target=\"_blank\">recent meeting<\/a>&nbsp;at the White House that it was evident there wasn\u2019t going to be consensus in the near term among NATO allies on picking a new permanent leader, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stoltenberg, a former Norwegian prime minister, has been NATO\u2019s top civilian official since 2014. His term was due to expire last year but was extended for a second time to keep a steady hand at the helm after Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., a senior member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee who is leading a delegation to Vilnius next month, said in an interview Thursday that it was her expectation that Stoltenberg\u2019s term would be extended and called it \u201cvery good news for NATO and for the allies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think Stoltenberg has proved to be critical as the challenges to NATO have unfolded over the last couple of years,\u201d Shaheen said. \u201cHe\u2019s been very adept at working with all the NATO countries and I think any time we\u2019re in the middle of a crisis \u2014 as we are now with what\u2019s happening in the war in Ukraine \u2014 being able to maintain that kind of stability and leadership that he\u2019s provided is really critical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden made it clear to Stoltenberg that he would welcome him sticking around longer \u2014 particularly with no end in sight to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">the war in Ukraine<\/a>&nbsp;and with the challenge of getting Sweden approved as a member of the alliance. NATO leaders largely agreed with Biden that maintaining \u201ccontinuity\u201d at this delicate moment for the alliance is essential, the official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Douglas Lute, who served as U.S. ambassador to NATO under President Barack Obama, said extending Stoltenberg\u2019s tenure offers NATO the path of least resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat the alliance does not need right now is a lack of solidarity over who to succeed him,\u201d Lute said. \u201cThe simplest thing is for him to be extended.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biden had spoken highly of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. NATO is keen to name a woman to the top post, and Denmark\u2019s prime minister was thought to be a favorite after a meeting with Biden earlier this month, but she has publicly said that she was not seeking the job. British Prime Rishi Sunak also lobbied Biden on behalf of British Defense Minister Ben Wallace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frederiksen faced stiff headwinds. Poland opposes the next secretary-general coming from a Nordic state after Stoltenberg\u2019s long tenure, according to the U.S. official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stoltenberg\u2019s predecessor, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, is from Denmark. Polish officials are pushing for the next secretary-general to come from a Baltic state, according to the U.S. official. Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has emerged as their preferred candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some members are also insistent that the next secretary-general be a former head of state, which made the path difficult for Wallace, the U.S. official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press writer Chris Megerian contributed
