Well first thing first there is possiblty that might be caretaker govt until election calls Rutte meets Dutch King to discuss caretaker government Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte held talks with the King of the Netherlands on Saturday after his coalition government collapsed. King Willem-Alexander was out of the country on holiday at the time of the government's fall and flew back to the Netherlands to meet Rutte. Rutte already offered the King the resignation of his cabinet in writing on Friday evening, shortly after his government fell apart amid a dispute over migration. The prime minister declined to comment on the hour-and-a-half-long meeting after he left the palace in The Hague. "These are confidential meetings," he told reporters. Before meeting the king, Rutte tweeted he had called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to ensure him his government's caretaker status would not affect Dutch support for Ukraine. www.dw.com/en/rutte-meets-dutch-king-to-discuss-caretaker-government/a-66165617
