Boris Johnson is being touted as a candidate to fill the key defense post and replace the current NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.

Boris Johnson Recently Resigned as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

The Daily Telegraph this week reported that Prime Minister could assume the role if the incumbent – former Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg – steps down in September next year, and may be favored for the position due to “US distrust around any European Union figures taking the job given repeated suggestions of plans for a new EU army.”

Senior Conservative Party members are vouching for the outgoing British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to become the next secretary general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Jens Stoltenberg is expected to resign as NATO’s Secretary General in September 2023.

Johnson is being endorsed for the position once Jens Stoltenberg finishes his four-year term.

The NATO chief was supposed to be appointed this September but the process is going to be delayed due to the recent war in Ukraine.

Johnson will be the latest politician pushed for the role after British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, former UK Prime Minister Theresa May, and David Cameron.

Boris Johnson is the Frontrunner for NATO’s Chief Role.

The opportunity for the position of the head of NATO is being touted for Johnson after he steps down as the Prime Minister of the UK on September 6.

He would also have to quit his role as UK MP in order to take up the responsibility.

Johnson will likely take up the role after the chief of the US-led military bloc Jens Stoltenberg “stands down in September next year,” that will leave a vacancy for the high-profile defense position, according tot the Telegraph.

“People will probably argue over Boris Johnson’s legacy for years – but one thing which is clearly inarguable is his absolutely staunch support for Ukraine in the face of Russian barbarity,” the report further added.

“Boris is a National Embarrassment”

Another Senior UK ministry of defense personnel, who spoke on condition of anonymity said that there is a likelihood Emmanuel Macron, the French President, would veto Boris Johnson.

“The reality is that NATO sec gens are appointed by unanimous decision. Any country can veto,” the unnamed source stressed. “Do you think President Macron would nominate Boris Johnson to be the secretary general of NATO?

“It is a challenge for a Brit full stop. You need the United States to support you and the French to say ‘yes,'” the official furthermore iterated.
