    The Dutch mayor of The Hague has threatened to use military equipment to clear out tractors and road blockades as the farmers plan an enormous protest in the Netherlands on Saturday.

    On March 11, Dutch farmers will flood to the country’s third largest city to protest their government’s radical climate policies.
