Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte was on his way to a cabinet meeting when he dropped his coffee going through security gates.

After bemoaning the waste, the politician got a mop from the cleaning team, and proceeded to clean up after himself.

However, he had a little trouble with the mop, and the cleaners had to show him how to adapt it to suit his height.
