Centrist D66 leader Rob Jetten emphasized the need for stronger European cooperation to ensure security and prosperity — rather than focusing on the United States.
Once in office, one of the first things Jetten will do is “talk to my colleagues in Europe to see what role the Dutch can play again in strengthening the European cooperation,” he said.
The plan includes spending billions on the Dutch military and ongoing support for Kyiv in Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Jetten has been in the driving seat for coalition talks since his party narrowly won elections in late October.
