Sunak reportedly lobbied for Wallace to take up the role once the current secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, leaves the position next year. However, Biden reportedly favorsreported that Wallace's push to train Ukrainian pilots to fly U.S.-made F-16s led to Biden's decision to block him for the NATO post.
