A routine White House photo-op took an unusual turn on Monday when Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte interrupted President Donald Trump and then contradicted him on tariffs and trade.

The Trump administration in May announced tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and the European Union. Trump said Monday he would be meeting with EU officials soon to discuss the dispute.

If we do work it out, thatll be positive, and if we dont, itll be positive also, because... Trump said.

No! Rutte interjected with a smile.

Well, just think about those cars that pour in here, and well do something, right? Trump replied.

But Rutte still smiling wasnt having it.

Its not positive, he said. We have to work something out.

Trump thanked Rutte and the two shook hands.

The relationship between the Netherlands and the United States is over 400 years old, Rutte said. We are allies . We have always been friends, always been friendly, working closely together.
