TL;DR Summary

The Dutch government is on the brink of collapse as the ruling coalition faces a crisis over a set of measures aimed at limiting the influx of asylum seekers. Prime Minister Mark Rutte's party proposed making it harder for refugee families to reunite, causing a major rift with two junior parties who refuse to support the proposals.

Rutte is reportedly willing to let the government fall if an agreement cannot be reached.
