Dutch PM Mark Rutte's Political Exit Sparks Uncertainty in Dutch and E.U. Politics

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte has announced that he will quit politics after his coalition government collapsed due to disagreements over asylum policies. Rutte, one of Europe's longest-serving leaders, will lead a caretaker administration until fresh elections in November. He stated that he will not run for a fifth term and will leave politics following the elections. A no-confidence motion has been filed by opposition parties, but it requires the support of at least one party from Rutte's collapsed coalition to pass. Rutte's resignation marks the end of his nearly 13-year tenure as prime minister.
