President Joe Biden was forced to cancel his schedule Monday - including talks with NATO's outgoing secretary general - because of an unplanned root canal.
That included a ceremony for college athletes on the South Lawn, which was hosted instead by Vice President Kamala Harris, and an evening reception for diplomats.
Biden hasn't yet settled on a candidate to support to replace Stoltenberg, a senior US official said. The job traditionally goes to a European, but requires the backing of the American president - NATO's largest and most powerful member. "We're going to have to get a consensus within NATO to see that happen," he said, calling the UK candidate "very qualified."
Some European diplomats speculated her visit to the White House was an opportunity for Biden and his team to sound her out about the top NATO job.Frederiksen said afterward she didn't want to speculate about the potential of heading up the military alliance. She declined to say whether it was discussed with Biden in the Oval Office.
Stoltenberg's term ends in October, and his spokesperson has said he will leave then, though his tenure has been extended three times already. He had been expected to take up a post as head of Norway's central bank, but gave up the job to stay on as secretary general last year.
