Dutch Prime Minister Gives Resignation, Takes Caretaker Role

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof tendered his resignation and will continue in a caretaker role, setting the stage for a snap election.

Far-right Geert Wilders pulled his Freedom Party out of the Dutch government earlier Tuesday over the refusal of his three coalition partners to agree to his plans to curb migration. His demands included closing the border to asylum seekers, temporarily halting family reunification and returning asylum seekers to Syria.
