“The prime minister will make her first overseas visits this week. This will be an opportunity to discuss the bilateral relationship, cooperation on a range of global challenges, and of course how the UK and Germany can work together as the UK prepares to leave the EU,” a Downing Street spokesperson said.
With Brexit at the heart of her premiership, it came as little surprise that May chose the two leading EU economies to kick-start talks over the UK’s future relationship with the economic bloc.
