Overview
- At the White House dinner held Monday, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima joined President Donald Trump for talks and an overnight stay, with Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten also at the table.
- Jetten said the discussion was open and constructive and noted it ran 90 minutes longer than planned, though he called it too short to change minds.
- Officials said the talks covered trade, NATO cooperation, recent developments around Iran, and Russia’s war in Ukraine, with Jetten adding that Trump pressed for more pressure on Iran without making a direct request for Dutch support.
- The visit drew mixed reactions in the Netherlands, including opposition criticism and a public petition that urged canceling the trip.
- The Washington stop is part of a three-day working visit tied to America’s 250th year, following economic and civic events in Philadelphia and ahead of meetings in Miami.
