The new US ambassador to the Netherlands found himself headline news on Thursday afternoon, after apparently criticising Geert Wilders at a get-to-know-you meeting with the Dutch media.
Timothy Broas, who has been in the Netherlands for a week, reportedly told journalists: 'I have heard that a certain politician last week spoke about having fewer Moroccans. That sort of statement conflicts with Dutch values,' the Volkskrant quotes Broas as saying.
'The Netherlands has always been a country of tolerance... Perhaps I have not been properly informed but I have, for example, heard that there are groups who want to stop immigration to the Netherlands,' the paper quotes him as saying.
