US President Joe Biden is pushing for Ursula von der Leyen to be installed as the next Nato secretary general.
The president of the European Commission was said to be the United States’ preferred candidate after Defence Secretary Ben Wallace’s candidacy was blocked by the White House and France.
During private talks von der Leyen reportedly told Biden she would not be available to take over any role at Nato until at least next year.

The Telegraph reports: reports: On Tuesday, Nato allies agreed a one-year extension for Jens Stoltenberg, who has been secretary general since October 2014, to lead the alliance until autumn 2024.
Nato leaders had hoped to reach a deal on a successor to Mr Stoltenberg at their annual summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, next week, but have failed to agree on a candidate.
A Nato source said that the US president was attempting to convince Mrs von der Leyen, a former German defence minister, to succeed Mr Stoltenberg amid fears a suitable candidate will not emerge in the next 12 months.
“We’re going to have a problem next year when it becomes clear that the field is no stronger than this year,” a second source said.
Mr Biden and Mrs von der Leyen have built “a strong bond” in recent years, fostering close transatlantic ties over China, Ukraine and the climate, another source said.
She was said to now “rely on Washington for intelligence” in a shift away from information relayed to her by European agencies, which misjudged Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Fluent in French, she would likely secure the support of Emmanuel Macron, who was opposed to Mr Wallace’s candidacy.
Meanwhile, Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor and a former political rival of Mrs von der Leyen, would like to see her out of the frame to keep a top EU job.
Concerns, however, may arise over her recent poor handling of the German defence ministry, which she led between 2013 and 2019.
If course he does She’s a Catholic like the rest of the gang a doctor a mother of 7 the world’s most powerful woman and close confidante if Pope Francis who she meets with and gets all her instructions imo
They’re all of the Jewish Ideology. Even the Pope.
Huh?, another Catholic. Think that is a coincidence with Biden and his being a devout Catholic.
Joe Biden wants to Blow Up the Biggest Nuclear Power Reactor in Europe, to blame Russia, to create an incident that will rally the United States—Pearl Harbor-Style—to send 5 million troops to Europe and fight Russia.
Von Der Leyen comes from old satanic bloodline. Old blue blood family that has been pulling strings for a long time.
What is her families background, seems to be cotton and slaves? Being connected with family lineages seems to something that has happened since long before the antiquities.
