Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said on Monday she is not vying for NATO's top job, after an Oval Office sit-down with U.S. President Joe Biden and a separate meeting with CIA Director William Burns.
"I've have said before that I am not a candidate for any other job than the one I have now, and this has not changed after my meeting with the U.S. president," Frederiksen told reporters outside the White House.Speculation about Frederiksen as a serious contender for the job has intensified since her name first surfaced publicly in a report by Norwegian newspaper VG last month.
Frederiksen told reporters she had met with Burns during her trip to Washington, but did not give further details.Reporting by Jacob Gronholt-Pedersen and Andrea Shalal; Writing by Katharine Jackson; editing by Costas Pitas and Eric Beech
