Macron faces protests and heckling during Netherlands visit.

French President Emmanuel Macron reiterated his earlier comments on the need for Europe to assert its sovereignty and not be a "vassal" to the US in its relations with China during a state visit to the Netherlands. Macron also expressed support for the status quo in Taiwan and a peaceful resolution to the situation. The visit was marred by protests against Macron's controversial pension reform law, with two protesters arrested for running at the French president outside Amsterdam University.
