US president Joe Biden has pushed to make Ursula von der Leyen Nato’s secretary general after Britain revealed plans to train Ukrainian pilots on F-16s without his approval.
The role is up for grabs until Autumn 2024 when Jens Stoltenberg, who has been secretary general since October 2014, steps down as head the alliance.
Ben Wallace, the UK Defence Secretary, had been a front-runner but has failed to back support from the US.
It has emerged that the lack of US backing is due to tensions over Britain’s ambitious military support for Ukraine.
