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.
