A Peek Into the NATO Summit's Grand Opening
Trump connecting with the Dutch Royal Family
The Hague (dpa) - US President Donald Trump kicked off NATO summit day in The Hague with a delightful flair. "Morning starts beautiful in the Netherlands," he posted on his Truth Social platform. Trump enjoyed a cozy evening at the royal palace Huis ten Bosch, and also shared breakfast with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. "The King and Queen are stunning individuals. Our breakfast rendezvous was a blast!" Trump expressed his enthusiasm for his regal hosts.
The question of the royal family's enjoyment was initially left hanging. Before the summit, press reported Trump's arrival in The Hague was met with "great enthusiasm."
The privilege of hosting Trump at Huis ten Bosch is a significant honor. Although prestigious guests occasionally reside in the palace, it's usually within the castle in Amsterdam, not in the woodland residence of The Hague.
A formal dinner for the heads of state and government commenced at the onset of the NATO summit the previous night, attended by some partners. However, Trump opted to attend without the First Lady Melania.
