48:28Now PlayingFar-right lawmaker Geert Wilders pulled his Freedom Party out of the Netherlands’ ruling coalition, collapsing the government and likely triggering a snap election. The four-party coalition, led by Wilders’ Freedom Party lasted about a year. Wilders left over the refusal of his three coalition partners to agree to his plans to curb migration, which included closing the border to asylum seekers, temporarily halting family reunification and returning asylum seekers to Syria. On the economic front, President Donald Trump’s combative trade policies have tipped the world economy into a downturn, with the US among the hardest hit, the OECD said. The Paris-based organization slashed its global forecasts for the second time this year, citing the impact of the American president’s tariff onslaught. The combination of trade barriers and uncertainty are hitting confidence and holding back investment, it said, while also warning that protectionism is adding to inflationary pressures.
