Netherlands Gets Youngest Prime Minister
Rob Jetten was sworn in as Dutch prime minister. He is 38 years old.
Jetten is the Netherlands' youngest-ever prime minister. He is also the country's first gay prime minister.
King Willem-Alexander swore in Jetten and the coalition. Jetten leads a minority coalition government.
Klear Note — A minority coalition means the government needs support from other parties to pass laws. The Netherlands regularly has coalition governments because no single party wins enough votes.
