About
Rob Jetten is a centrist politician who became the Netherlands' youngest-ever prime minister and the first openly gay one after his party won a snap election in October. His government took power on Monday, with Jetten sworn in as the country's new PM. Recently, he was confirmed to dine with US President Donald Trump at the White House, despite previous criticisms of Trump. The Netherlands' new PM is currently relevant due to his involvement in international diplomacy and energy policy, particularly amidst rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine. His government is also navigating the impact of the war in the Middle East on European energy costs.
