French President Emmanuel Macron shares a working dinner with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte after a visit to the Vermeer exhibition in Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum. Macron's trip to the Netherlands, the first state visit by a French president to the country in 23 years, has been repeatedly disrupted by protests over his domestic troubles, with the visit's pomp providing little respite from a wave of protests at home against increasing the French pension age from 62 to 64.

After meeting with the largest farmers union FNSEA, French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal met with Rural Coordination, France's 2nd largest farming union. Its president, Veronique Le Floch, said it was "catastrophic" that the Prime Minister had not yet made any emergency announcements, while farmers continued to express their anger throughout France, in a protest that was mourned by the death of a farmer in Ariège, hit by a car at a roadblock.
