NederlandsIn 1609 the Dutch East India Company asked the English captain Henry Hudson to find the north eastern passage to Asia. He ended up in Manhattan. Since that time, the Netherlands and the United States have maintained an intensive trade relationship. The reason for the flourishing trade relations is not only the market area on both sides of the Atlantic, but also the excellent infrastructure and tax facilities in the Netherlands.
