EXCLUSIVE. Minister Prévot after the riot with the US ambassador: “We should not accept disrespect”

As the dust clouds slowly rise above the American embassy in Brussels, Minister Maxime Prévot speaks out exclusively about the turbulent riot with Bill White. The ambassador was reportedly deeply offended by the Belgian criticism, but Prévot stood his ground. “We should not accept disrespect, but we should not turn our backs on the US either.” In addition to the international tensions, a tough budget round awaits, in which Prévot wants to increase the VAT on luxury products to bring the VAT on fruit and vegetables to 0%.
