21.02.2026 ⇢ The Day of Ten Dutch Winter Golds
⌨Dutch editorial priority on February 21 was initially divided between the fallout of Donald Trump’s trade policies and the transition of the Jetten cabinet. Morning headlines focused on President Trump’s defiance of the US Supreme Court by proposing a new 10 percent global tariff, a story that evolved by late afternoon into a 15 percent hike as editors tracked his increasing pressure on European and Chinese markets. Concurrently, domestic coverage analyzed the final days of the Schoof administration and the official distribution of tasks within the incoming Jetten 'coffee cabinet.'
By late afternoon, the news cycle was dominated by the Milan Winter Olympics. Editors pivoted to a historic sporting milestone as Jorrit Bergsma and Marijke Groenewoud both secured gold in the mass start events. This brought the Netherlands' total to ten gold medals, which major outlets like NOS, NRC, and De Telegraaf highlighted as the country’s most successful Winter Games in history, eclipsing all previous records.

Iran dreigt ’s werelds belangrijkste olietransportroute te blokkeren. Het land speelt die kaart wel vaker bijna, maar van een serieuze blokkade is het nooit gekomen. Als de dreiging dit keer wel werkelijkheid wordt, heeft dat grote gevolgen voor de wereldeconomie.
