‘The Netherlands looks forward to continuing the excellent alliance with the Obama administration in a number of areas over the next four years.’
 
Referring to the trade and investment relationship between the two countries, Rutte said: ‘We want that to grow further in the future. The Netherlands will therefore put effort into establishing a free trade agreement between the US and the European Union’.
