Jens Stoltenberg to continue as NATO chief

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:20:57 GMT

NATO allies on Tuesday formally extended Jens Stoltenberg’s term as secretary-general by a year. “Honoured by NATO Allies’ decision to extend my term as Secretary General until 1 October 2024,” Stoltenberg tweeted. “The transatlantic bond between Europe & North America has ensured our freedom & security for nearly 75 years, and in a more dangerous world, our Alliance is more important than ever,” he added. The decision, ahead of a summit of NATO leaders in Vilnius next week, is seen as a reflection of how politically sensitive the current moment is for the alliance, as well as how difficult it is for allies to find a high-profile candidate who is both available and acceptable to all alliance members. The former Norwegian prime minister has served as the defensive alliance’s chief since 2014, earning widespread respect for his calm demeanor under pressure and ability to navigate the sensitivities of a large and diverse alliance. I...

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Britain’s Rishi Sunak are locked in a war of words as accusations of Aussie cheating in the Ashes tournament fly. It’s a far cry from their chumminess over the AUKUS nuclear alliance and much-vaunted new trade ties.The row centers on England and Australia’s Ashes clash at Lords cricket ground Sunday.In highly contentious scenes that riled up English fans, England’s Jonny Bairstow was dismissed after Australia’s Alex Carey “stumped” him out while Bairstow believed the ball wasn’t in play.Under the rules of cricket, the ball is live if either side considers it to be so — meaning Bairstow’s pleas to the umpire fell on deaf ears. The dismissal proved crucial for Australia, who ran out winners. England’s captain Ben Stokes made clear after the match that he would not...
