Congressman John Moolenaar met with Birgitta Tazelaar, the Dutch Ambassador to the United States, to discuss cooperation between the United States and the Netherlands. The meeting highlighted the longstanding cultural and historical ties between West Michigan and the Netherlands.
“In West Michigan so many families trace their roots back to the Netherlands, so it was wonderful to meet with Ambassador Tazelaar and discuss the strong alliance between our two countries. We also talked about how our countries can work together to protect innovation and counter the Chinese Communist Party. I look forward to continuing to work with the ambassador and the Dutch government on these issues,” said Moolenaar.
