The Prime Minister, fresh from her Easter walking holiday in Wales, is expected to discuss Brexit as well as the threat Russia poses to international security on the one-day trip.

Mrs May will meet Danish prime minister Lars Rasmussen for talks in Copenhagen before travelling to Stockholm where she will be hosted by the Swedish premier Stefan Löfven.

A Downing Street spokesman said: “Talks are expected to cover a range of issues, including the threat Russia poses to international security; our ongoing bilateral co-operation in areas such as security and defence; trade and investment; and progress towards a Brexit deal.”

Sweden expelled one Russian diplomat and Denmark two as part of the co-ordinated international response to the March 4 poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury.
