To protect our national security the Netherlands government decided to expell 17 Russian Intelligence officers working in our country under diplomatic cover. This decision was closely coordinated with our European partners. #EU
De 50 Panzerfaust 3-antitankwapens (+400 raketten), 100 scherpschuttersgeweren (+30.000 stuks munitie) en de 200 Stinger luchtdoelraketten zijn op weg naar Oekraïne. Aan boord zijn ook twee detectierobots voor (zee)mijnopsporing.

On this day in 1653, Nieuw Amsterdam is given municipal rights and thus becomes a city. It was awarded its own seal. This little Dutch settlement was later renamed New York.
Congratulations to @MinPres Mark Rutte and to the new government in The Netherlands.
Wishing you much success & prosperity and looking forward to working together to further strengthen the relationship between our two nations. 🇮🇱🇳🇱
Balkan Ghosts are Back. Bosnië-Herzegovina (BiH), de vrijwel mislukte poging tot democratische staatsvorming aan de EU-grens, maar binnen Europa. De geest van Mladic, de genocidepleger, van Milosevic, van extremistisch nationalisme dat nu met Dodik, zijn lelijke kop weer opsteekt
Als we achterop lopen met boosteren wordt er moord en brand geschreeuwd maar als we zo’n beetje de minste ziekenhuishuisopnames ter wereld hebben hoor je gek genoeg bar weinig. Alsof we geen goed nieuws meer wíllen horen.
Nu Russen (en Wit-Russen) zich militair weer aan de grens met Oekraïne verzamelen, zullen de Kremlin-apologeten ook weer uit hun holen komen om uit te leggen dat Rusland zich bedreigd voelt. Dat klopt. Bedreigd door de heldere volkswil van Oekraïners om hun eigen land te vormen.
Today we celebrate #DutchAmericanHeritageDay to shine a light on the close cultural and economic ties between our two nations. And it all started with a simple "hello" 245 years ago. 🇺🇸🇳🇱
Taliban started door to door search looking for govt officials, former police & security forces members & those who worked for foreign countries NGOs or infrastructures in Afghanistan.
At least 3 journalists' houses were searched in the last hour.
Kabul is now becoming deadly..

Prime Minister Rutte receiving the new Chief of the Dutch Defence forces, General Eichelsheim, and bidding farewell to current Chief of Defence Admiral Bauer who will take over as chairman of the NATO Military Committee this summer @NLatNATO@NATO
.@ministerBlok and I spoke today and affirmed the U.S.-Netherlands partnership. The Dutch were the first to recognize our flag in 1776 and our relationship remains strong. Our Transatlantic cooperation is key as we face complex global challenges together.
