Additionally, German retailer Kaufland has entered the Dutch e-commerce market, intensifying competition, and scientists in Nijmegen are exploring the biological functions of tickling.
Rob Jetten currently serves as the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, leading a minority coalition comprising Democrats 66 (D66), the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), and the Christian Democratic Alliance (CDA). King Willem-Alexander is the head of state.
