Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas said on Tuesday she’s interested in taking over the top job at NATO, reports
Politico.
Speaking at the POLITICO Defense Summit, Kallas was asked whether she’d like to be considered for the role once NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg steps down. She responded “yes.”
Kallas, who earlier met with US administration officials and lawmakers on Capitol Hill, stressed the need for American support to achieve peace in Ukraine.
Kallas was pleasantly surprised to find that American politicians were more on board with support to Ukraine than she had expected.
“I actually had a very, very good meeting with all of those people and I was asking the ambassadors like, “when are we meeting the skeptical ones?’ ” said Kallas.
