Statement by Department of Defense Chief Spokesperson Dana W. White on the Reappointment of Jens Stoltenberg as NATO Secretary General

I congratulate Secretary General Stoltenberg on his reappointment and I can think of no one better suited to continue to lead this critical alliance for an additional two years. He has been a dynamic leader during a period of profound transition for NATO. The United States looks forward to continuing to work with Secretary General Stoltenberg as he strives to strengthen further our NATO alliance.
