Cabinet collapse, trade minister resigns, the Netherlands in a policy vacuum, which may hinder the EU's response to Trump's trade war.
According to the Zhitong Financial APP, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and his cabinet are facing a crucial parliamentary vote on Wednesday, which could lead to a trust crisis and unprecedented political turmoil in the country. Although the specific process is still unclear, the Dutch House of Representatives is likely to discuss a motion of no confidence, if passed, Rutte or his entire cabinet will end their term prematurely. It is worth noting that since the coalition government of four parties collapsed in June, Rutte's government has been in caretaker status, and if they are dismissed now, procedural handling will face legal uncertainty.
