The Netherlands dumps Trump!
🇳🇱🙌🏻🇳🇱

The same week where Canada dumps Trump and chooses Sweden to deliver it's AWACS planes, the Netherlands blocks American acquisition of their key IT provider Solvinity, citing the need to protect public interest.

Had the deal gone through, a company from Trump's America would have controlled the main online authentication app used by the Dutch to file taxes, etc.
