British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has made the case for U.K. Defense Minister Ben Wallace to Biden, while Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is also a potential contender.
Biden's opinion carries weight as the U.S. spends the most on defense in the alliance.
Biden and Stoltenberg are expected to discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine and efforts to persuade Turkey to back off blocking Sweden from joining NATO.
