U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May will visit German Chancellor Angela Merkel and then French President Francois Hollande this week as she makes the case for Britain remaining a powerful player in the world after the country voted to leave the European Union.
The premier will on Monday use her first appearance in parliament since succeeding David Cameron to argue for renewing the Trident nuclear-weapons system after a weekend in which the team overseeing the divorce from the EU began to set out their plans. She will then travel to Berlin on Wednesday for a working dinner with Merkel followed by talks with Hollande in Paris on Thursday, her office said.
