Longest-Serving Dutch PM Rutte to Retire After Government Collapse Over Migration Policy

Rutte announced his retirement from politics following the collapse of his coalition government over disagreements on immigration policy.
Rutte has served as Prime Minister of the Netherlands for 12 years, the longest tenure in Dutch history.
Rutte's conservative government fell apart after failing to reach an agreement on plans to cap the number of relatives allowed to join asylum seekers each month.
Rutte will continue serving as caretaker leader until November's elections but will not stand for re-election as leader of the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy.
Rutte earned the nickname "Teflon Mark" for weathering political scandals and crises during his time in office.
