Biden Hosts Stoltenberg Amid NATO Succession Race.

President Joe Biden will meet with outgoing NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg to discuss the upcoming NATO summit and the search for his successor. The competition to replace Stoltenberg is intensifying as leaders of the 31-member military alliance are set to meet next month for their annual summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. Stoltenberg is in the midst of a tour of NATO capitals to meet with leaders ahead of the summit. The meeting with Biden was rescheduled for Tuesday because the president underwent an unexpected root canal procedure after experiencing dental pain.
