After a highly publicised dinner and sleepover at the White House, the royal couple reflected positively on their visit and discussions with President Trump.
According to NOS, the King stated in a press briefing that they were able to “clearly state their opinions” throughout their stay.
While there was some hint that the Caribbean Netherlands came up, he refrained from providing specific details about their discussions with the president.
“A beautiful evening”
“They did their best to give us a very beautiful evening. We are very grateful for that,” Willem-Alexander revealed.
A dinner of North Sea sole, spinach soup, and more, combined with the tulip-themed decorations, drew kind words from the royal couple, according to NOS.

Enduring partnership
Despite the controversy and discussion in the Netherlands surrounding the royal visit to the Trumps, words from Jetten and the royal couple suggested they were pleased with the opportunity.
Amid the initiation of a cooperation program to open doors for Dutch companies in the US, the King declared that the two countries must “always remain on good terms,” reports NOS.
