President Barack Obama leaned in further on his warning to the British electorate against embracing a so-called Brexit from the European Union, saying it could take as long as 10 years before the U.K. and the U.S. negotiated a new trade agreement.
“The U.K. would not be able to negotiate something with the United States faster than the EU,” Obama told the BBC in an interview broadcast on Saturday. “We wouldn’t abandon our efforts to negotiate a trade deal with our largest trading partner, the European market. But rather, it could be five years from now, 10 years from now before we were able to actually get something done.”

Fu-huck him. Trump should say, "Obama is threatening our closest ally, talking about delaying a trade deal with them unless they join the EU. This is just another example of how Obama has systematically alienated our allies around the world. When I'm President, the British can be comfortable knowing that they will be at the front of the line, regardless of whether they stay in the EU or leave it. We all know Obama thinks he can just proclaim things, but trying to make a threat like that is not just offensive, but silly."
