"Dutch Government Grapples with Asylum Measures, Crisis Ensues"

TL;DR
The Dutch government is on the brink of collapse as the ruling coalition faces a crisis over a set of measures aimed at limiting the influx of asylum seekers. Prime Minister Mark Rutte's party proposed making it harder for refugee families to reunite, causing a major rift with two junior parties who refuse to support the proposals. Despite a deadline to reach an agreement by the end of the week, talks have failed to find a breakthrough, and negotiations are expected to continue into the weekend. Rutte is reportedly willing to let the government fall if an agreement cannot be reached.
