British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace is throwing his hat into the ring for a successor to outgoing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Wallace: "I would be happy to do my part to ensure that you can lie safely in bed at night" The Conservative came to the post of defence minister under Boris Johnson in 2019.
Wallace has long been the most popular cabinet member among active members of the Tory party. He made an impression with his calm and matter-of-fact manner during the chaotic evacuation of Western troops from Afghanistan in the summer of 2021.
