But NATO allies are now gaming out the possibility of prolonging his term yet again until the alliance’s summit in Washington next year, according to diplomats.The move would, of course, give leaders more time to locate a successor. But it would also push the decision into an EU election year, allowing it to become part of the political jostling over who will run the EU’s main institutions for the next five years. Like the top NATO job, the EU positions require a geopolitical balancing act. And having four positions to hand out instead of one may help ease those negotiations, allowing countries...
