Dutch Foreign Minister Resigns Due to Lie


Before the parliamentary debate on his lie about attending a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Dutch Foreign Minister, Halbe Zijlstra, resigned.  The Russian embassy in the Netherlands had issued a statement accusing some in the Netherlands of distributing fake news aimed at discrediting their country by suggesting it has expansionist ambitions.  Zijlstra’s resignation came a day before he was due to meet the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, in Moscow.
