The Netherlands’ new prime minister, Rob Jetten, will take part in a dinner with the Dutch king and queen hosted by US President Donald Trump in Washington next month, his aides said on Sunday.
Jetten’s presence was confirmed despite criticisms that the centrist made against Trump before he was sworn in as premier on February 23.
Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima will visit the United States between April 13 and 15 and during a stop in Washington, Trump invited them to a private dinner and an overnight stay at the White House.

Jetten will join the dinner, his team told Agence France-Presse, confirming Dutch media reports. The team declined to immediately give further details about the meeting.
The 38-year-old became the Netherlands’ youngest prime minister and its first openly gay one, following an election win in October in which his coalition dethroned the far-right Freedom Party (PVV) by a thin margin.

In late 2024 Jetten described Trump on social media as misogynist and as a criminal who flirted openly with dictators.
