Prime Minister Mark Rutte to Step Down After Dutch Government Collapses
Long-Serving Leader to Leave Politics After 14 Years
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced on Monday that he would step down as leader of the country's ruling party and leave politics altogether. The announcement came after his government collapsed amid infighting over migration policy.
Rutte's Legacy
Rutte, who has served as Prime Minister for nearly 14 years, has been a harsh critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin. His support for Ukraine and his long tenure at the top of European politics earned him the endorsement of several NATO members.
