EXCLUSIVE — Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) will be traveling to Europe later this month with a delegation of Senate GOP freshmen.

The senators will be making stops in Denmark, Norway, and Finland, according to Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), who disclosed the trip in a brief interview with the Washington Examiner. A spokesperson for Thune declined to comment on the travel plans, but one source familiar with the schedule said the visit also includes a stop in Estonia, while two sources confirmed the delegation is limited to the GOP freshmen and Thune.
