Red Sea tensions reach Europe: Dutch port of Rotterdam feels squeeze on trade

Dutch shipping companies fear they’ll be targeted by Houthi rebels after the Netherlands became the only EU country to support US and UK strikes last weekend in Yemen. That’s according to the Nether-lands Shipowner association. Tensions in the Red Sea are affecting more than 40 percent of trade from Asia to Europe causing delays in Europe's largest port in Rotterdam.
