Macron faces protests in Netherlands and shifts strategy after China trip.

French President Emmanuel Macron faced protests against an unpopular pension reform during his two-day state visit to the Netherlands. Protesters interrupted his speech at the Nexus Institute, shouting about the pension law and climate change. Macron defended the pension law, which will delay retirement age by two years to 64, and urged protesters to respect the institutions voted by the people. French unions have planned a new nationwide day of protests on Thursday against the pension law.
