NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg will step down on October 1, with Dutch Prime Minister Rutte being a strong candidate to succeed him. Countries like the US, UK, France, and Germany have expressed support for Rutte to lead NATO. Decision-making within NATO requires unanimous approval from all 32 member countries, making it crucial for the next Secretary-General to have broad support. Opposition from Hungarian Prime Minister Orban and Slovak President Pellegrini has shifted, with Rutte's main rival, Romanian President Iohannis, reportedly planning to withdraw from the race soon.
