King Willem-Alexander

King Willem-Alexander is the reigning monarch of the Netherlands, serving as the country's head of state. He is currently newsworthy due to an upcoming state visit to the United States with Queen Maxima. During this visit, they will be hosted by US President Donald Trump for a dinner in Washington next month. The visit coincides with the recent appointment of Rob Jetten as the Netherlands' new Prime Minister. Jetten, despite past criticisms of Trump, will also attend the dinner. The King's role is largely ceremonial, but his visit signifies the ongoing diplomatic relations between the Netherlands and the United States, and highlights the new political landscape in the Netherlands with the appointment of its youngest ever Prime Minister.
