Hello @usambnl , how about a friendly wager over Saturday’s game? ⚽️ But instead of ＄or €, we sweeten the pot: If 🇺🇸 wins, I’ll hand out donuts in DC’s Dupont Circle, and if 🇳🇱 wins, you‘ll hand out oliebollen at Den Haag Centraal. Would you like to place the bet?

I fully support this strong request to lift the American travelban for Europeans. We have many Dutch nationals who want to visit their friends and families in the US. And we have many Dutch nationals who stay in the US but can not return if they visit the NL’s.This should change!

70% of EU adults are now fully vaccinated. The U.S. can safely let vaccinated Europeans in (with existing pre-flight testing), as the EU lets in vaccinated Americans. The travel ban seriously harms vital economic & human ties, at a time when they're most needed.

The #NetherlandsCarillon symbolizes our transatlantic bond. It's great to witness the restoration of its 50 bells at bell foundry Royal #Eijsbouts in the Netherlands. For almost 150 years, Royal Eijsbouts has been a leader in producing and restoring bells from all over the world.
