Ex-NATO chief Stoltenberg to become Norway's finance minister: Media reports

Former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg was set to become Norway's new finance minister on Tuesday as part of a cabinet reshuffle, broadcaster NRK and Norwegian newspapers reported, citing anonymous sources.

Stoltenberg, a Labour Party veteran politician, was prime minister of Norway in 2000-2001 and 2005-2013. He headed the Western military alliance for a decade, including during U.S. President Donald Trump's first term, stepping down last year.

The 65-year-old is an economist by training and was finance minister in 1996-1997. He is widely seen as a pragmatist centrist.
