French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Amsterdam for a state banquet hosted by Dutch King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima as part of a two-day state visit to the Netherlands, April 11, 2023.
The visit, the first in 23 years, comes as Macron caused a stir by saying Europe has no interest in accelerating the conflict in Taiwan and should become a "third pole" independent of both Washington and Beijing.
Political actors on both sides of the Atlantic criticized the president's position as being too accommodating of China, just as it carries out military drills around Taiwan. (Reuters)
