A long-awaited free-trade deal with the European Union is at the top of the Prime Minister's wishlist on her trip to Europe.

Jacinda Ardern is expected to push for greater access to the European market for our dairy, lamb and beef producers. Before Brussels, she will be stopping at Madrid, where she will become the first New Zealand leader to attend a NATO leaders' summit.

Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson stood in for her weekly spot, and spoke to Morning Report.
