engaging in political campaigning, not people who are private citizens but used to be government employees. Obama is not a government employee. They are probably thinking of the Logan Act, which relates to private citizens engaging in foreign policy. But if the source can't distinguish between the Hatch Act and the Logan Act, maybe we shouldn't take it seriously.

NATO Summit 2025

From 24 to 25 June 2025 the Netherlands will host the NATO Summit in the World Forum in The Hague. At a recent summit, in Vilnius (Lithuania), our allies agreed that the Netherlands would organise the 2025 summit.
