Macron's Netherlands Visit Amid Backlash and Investment Push

French President Emmanuel Macron begins a state visit to the Netherlands, featuring a speech on European sovereignty in security and economic matters, amid controversy over his comments on Europe's ties with the US and China. Macron will present "a doctrine of economic security" against China and the United States, amid European unease over US climate subsidies. The visit is meant to highlight a new dynamic between Paris and The Hague after the turning point of Brexit, and to seal the growing closeness between two countries that were once at opposite ends of the European spectrum on frugality and social spending.
