The Dutch government said Saturday that a number of Russian diplomats will have to leave the Netherlands, accusing Moscow of trying to smuggle spies into the country that is home to institutions including the International Criminal Court and the global chemical weapons watchdog. The announcement is the latest twist in a diplomatic dispute between the two countries that began shortly after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine nearly a year ago sparked a war on Europe's eastern flank. Despite numerous attempts by the Netherlands to find a solution, Russia continues to try to get intelligence officers into the Netherlands under diplomatic cover, Foreign Affairs Minister Wopke Hoekstra said in a statement. We cannot and will not allow that." He added that it remains important to keep the embassies open as a communication channel, even now that relations with Russia are more difficult than ever. The Russian diplomats were given two weeks to leave the country. A Russian trade office i

Japan and the Netherlands have agreed to a deal with the US to restrict China's access to materials used to make advanced computer chips, a person familiar with the agreement has said. The person, who spoke with the Associated Press on Sunday, declined to be identified because the deal hasn't yet been formally announced. It's unclear when all three sides will unveil the agreement. The White House declined to comment.

It urged allies like Japan and the Netherlands to follow suit. China has responded angrily, saying trade curbs will disrupt supply chains and the global economic recovery. We hope the relevant countries will do the right thing and work together to uphold the multilateral trade regime and safeguard the stability of the global ...

President Joe Biden praised the Netherlands for stepping up assistance to Ukraine as he hosted Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Tuesday for wide-ranging talks at the White House

Updated On: 18 Jan 2023 | 7:26 AM IST

President Joe Biden is set to host Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte for talks as the US administration looks to persuade the Netherlands to further limit China's access to advanced semiconductors with export restrictions. Tuesday's wide-ranging talks are also expected to cover the countries' efforts to thwart Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and an upcoming democracy summit, according to the White House. The Biden administration has been trying to get the Netherlands on the same page since the US Commerce Department announced in October new export controls aimed at China. The restrictions are intended to limit China's ability to access advanced computing chips, develop and maintain supercomputers, and make advanced semiconductors. Administration officials have reasoned that the export restrictions are necessary because China can use semiconductors to create advanced military systems including weapons of mass destruction; commit human rights abuses; and improve the speed and ...
