Movies SPITE; Biden Blocked Wallace For NATO Chief On F-16 Ukraine Training W.O. US Consent

Britains’ Fury With US as Joe Biden ‘Blocks’ Ben Wallace For Nato chief

Biden Has Done Britain a 'Bad Turn' - Did Anti-British Joe Biden Rreally Block Ben Wallaces' NATO bid?


BBC NEWS 25 JUNE 2023










Joe Biden has done Britain a “bad turn” by blocking Ben Wallace’s run for Nato chief, Government sources have said.



The Defence Secretary had been the favourite with many member states to succeed Jens Stoltenberg, the current secretary-general, later this year.


The Defence Secretary made a strong pitch to become the next Secretary General in the wake of his pivotal role in the Ukraine response. The UK is one of the few countries that meets the military spending targets.

But he has now acknowledged the appointment is 'not going to happen' despite Rishi Sunak lobbying the US President on a trip to Washington this month.

Mr Biden is said to be keen for current chief Jens Stoltenberg to extend his term, although there are also claims he 'didn't want to support the UK'.

The president frequently boasts about his Irish heritage and has faced accusations of being 'anti-British'. On a recent visit to the island of Ireland, he spent a few hours in Northern Ireland before touring the Republic for days and snubbed displaying a Union Jack on his 'Beast' limo.

He also made a 'joke' about beating the 'Black and Tans' - an auxiliary police force deployed by Britain a century ago.

Ben Wallace has admitted his hopes of getting NATO's top job are over

Mr Wallace admitted on Wednesday that his ambition to take over the reins, which he had repeatedly expressed in public, is now “not going to happen”, after resistance from Joe Biden and France.
