rooster59 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Brexit – the view from the USBy Catherine Hardy Special relationship will continue – BidenVisiting Dublin, the US Vice President has reassured the UK and the Irish Republic that their relationship with the US will not change, despite the Brexit vote.Joe Biden says the special relationship will continue.“I must say, we had looked for a different outcome,” Biden said. “We would have preferred a different outcome. And I would imagine many of you here felt the same way. I want to assure all of you in this room that America’s special bond with the United Kingdom runs deep and it will endure, and our relationship with Ireland and with the European Union will remain the cornerstone of our global engagement.”Parallels between UK and US – TrumpVisiting Scotland, Donald Trump says he can see parallels between the UK and US.“You are going to have, I think, many other cases (in Europe) where they want to take their borders back, they want to take their monetary (policy) back. They want to take a lot of things back.“I really do see a parallel between what is happening in the United States and what is happening here, people want to see borders. They don’t necessarily want people pouring into their country that they do not know who they are and where they are from. They have no idea.”Trump, the presumptive Republican Party nominee for US presidential candidate, is predicting other countries will follow the UK’s lead. -- (c) Copyright Euronews 2016-06-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveAustin Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I don't think the US or their people really give a flying one what happens in Europe. It's a million miles away both distance and in the psyche. All that 'Remain' talk from Barry was about simply doing Dave a favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryw Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I hope the Queen gives Obama a knighthood for services to the Leave campaign. In April after he told us that we must stay in the EU the Leave vote went up 2%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwebb8825 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Wasn't it Obama during his visit in April that flat out told England that if they left the EU they would be moved to the back of the line when it came to deals? Wasn't it Trump who said at that time that he didn't care, they need to look out for themselves and he would still treat them the same as they've always been treated, as an allie?

gandalf12 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It is amazing how the USA always thinks their opinion actually counts for something, it doesnt. We all know in the UK the US is only interested in the US and would happily trample everyone else under foot if they thought they would gain from it. Maybe the American people believe the crap that Obama spouts but the British dont. In short we dont care what the US thinks about the UK leaving the EU. America has enough problems that it seems incapable of resolving, a debt that is probably bigger than the whole of Europe combined yet they insist on trying to us advice. Go home Obama you dont need you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggt Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 What goes on with the Brits...is of interest to citizens of the US...we have no dog in this fight...but like a favorite relative going thru a bit of turmoil...we wish you the best... Obama has no clue...how his condescending, abrasive, self-serving rhetoric is one reason he will be considered one of the worst Presidents ever...except by his loyal peanut-gallery...to which he can do no wrong...the darling of the progressive liberal left... If Clinton becomes President...she will try to figure-out how to profit personally from your struggles... If Trump becomes President...he will work with your leadership in everyway possible to bring about the change you seek and the stability you deserve...if he profits in anyway...it will be because he offers a service to the people...not taking bribes under the table...

slipperylobster Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) No... Scotland, in their mind, is not part of the UK....lol Not any more. They want to stay IN. How is that going to work? I suppose Trump was doing an "Anti Obama" side show. It appears that many Brits hate Obama worse than Trump.... Scotland....well, not so much. Anyways....Trump's statement was directed at the majority (within the UK). Remember, Obama said Trade Agreements may be at Risk if Brexit happened.

neverdie Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I think it's important for the USA to announce where it stands, some people worry about these things.

In April after he told us that we must stay in the EU the Leave vote went up 2%. Yeah - for most of his reign he's had pretty much the same effect on most Americans, too. He must give thanks daily for "executive orders". But the knighthood should go well; the kneeling & all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Leave was a big in your face blow to Obama. Take your globalization, one world government plans and stick em up Hillary's liberal bum...(ugly sight). As far as the future, I believe Farage and Trump will get along just fine next year.
