Prime Minister Mark Rutte lunched Tuesday afternoon with his British counterpart Theresa May at the Catshuis in The Hague. The two heads of government discuss the forthcoming departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union.
Rutte visited May in London in February. He then called on the UK government to quickly provide more clarity on how the country wants to continue after Brexit. The British will leave the EU in March next year. But many things that are important for the Netherlands, for example future trade relations, still have no knot. If this continues, there is a threat of a so-called "hard brexit", which can prove disastrous for British trade.
May hopes to align her cabinet with her most important ministers at least this week at the High Council. Now the Mays party and the government are still very unanimous on Brexit. EU leaders have expressed concern last week over the lack of a British plan on Brexit.
Rutte has been on Monday night with US President Donald Trump, who hosts the Brexit and has little to do with the EU
