Dutch PM criticised after calling out 'white wine sipping elites'
 [Al Jazeera] Mark Rutte said 'white wine sipping elites in Amsterdam' are not giving US President Trump a fair chance.Rutte made the comments during an appearance on Buitenhof, a weekly TV show focused on Dutch politics that aired on Sunday. "In this world, international structures are absolutely necessary, but sometimes it p***** me off when I hear white wine sipping elites in Amsterdam saying 'well, Trump, he is so wrong'," Rutte said. "Why don't we make use of his presence, because he brings to attention the parts that aren't great about multilateralism, even though I am a supporter of that because the Netherlands are dependant on that same multilateralism," he added. Shortly before those comments, Rutte also mentioned the "elites in Amsterdam" in relation to climate goals. Posted by: Fred 2019-01-14 |
