00:00You may read a little bit this week about the International Criminal Court, where we have a, I would say,
00:05a principled difference of opinion with the Dutch.
00:07I would say our areas of interest that intersect overlap about 90% of the time.
00:14We rely on the Dutch as very transatlantic, very open for business, very pro-Western country, but we don't agree
00:23on everything.
00:23And when we do my job as ambassador, when we do not agree on everything, my job as ambassador is
00:28to try to figure out how to disagree without being disagreeable.
00:33So we're going to see if my skills in that area work this week as we explain our response to
00:40the ICC.
00:41And then in closing, I would just like to encourage you this week to take in all that you can
00:46here in the Netherlands and Amsterdam.
00:48If you can make it down to the Hague, great. It's truly, I think, one of the nicest cities in
00:52the world.
00:52But Amsterdam is a great destination.
