MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte will be visiting the United States from December 4-6 on an economic mission to strengthen bilateral cooperation in trade, innovation and the semiconductor industry.
The prime minister will be accompanied by Jan Jambon, minister-president of Belgium's Dutch-speaking region of Flanders, Dutch Economic Affairs Minister Micky Adriaansens and a delegation of Dutch and Flemish companies and scientific institutions specializing in semiconductors.
Rutte is expected to visit the cities of Phoenix and San Francisco, with trips to Stanford University, Microsoft and a US air base where Dutch F-35 pilots are being trained.
Washington introduced in August 2022 legislation that supports clean energy-related industries as well as high-tech fields, including AI and microchip production.
This move met harsh criticism in European Union, whose politicians accused US of unfair practices and stressed that new American legislation puts Europe at risk of deindustrialization.
