In July 2023, a new secretary general must be appointed for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and several sources point towards Mette Frederiksen as the new leader. She will also go to the White House (Washington, DC, USA) to meet with Joe Biden (USA president) on June 5.
- The current secretary general of NATO is Jens Stoltenberg (former prime minister of Norway). The previous secretary general was another Dane, Anders Fogh Rasmussen (also a former prime minister). Will it go for a third time in a row to a Nordic leader?
- Who will become prime minister of Denmark if Mette leaves her post earlier than expected? Two names are in the running – Minister of Finance Nicolai Wammen (Mette’s right hand) and Minister of Justice Peter Hummelgaard.
