Jetten will miss climate summit for tax plan talks

Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten will miss the climate summit to take part in tax plan negotiations at home.

His spokesperson said he will remain in the Netherlands until at least Thursday afternoon.

The negotiations concern the government’s tax plan, which is due to come before the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of the Dutch parliament.

The house is scheduled to vote on the plan on Thursday.

Jetten’s decision keeps him in the country during the talks and ahead of that vote.

He is expected to stay through Thursday afternoon, according to his spokesperson.
