Fearmongering by president Obama and the UK “Remainers” regarding US-UK trade negotiations following Brexit is all the more humorous by a trio of interesting headlines.
Back of the Queue
On April 22, president Obama warned Brexit Would Put UK ‘Back of the Queue’ for Trade Talks.
Obama argued that he had a right to respond to the claims of Brexit campaigners that Britain would easily be able to negotiate a fresh trade deal with the US. “They are voicing an opinion about what the United States is going to do, I figured you might want to hear from the president of the United States what I think the United States is going to do.
“And on that matter, for example, I think it’s fair to say that maybe some point down the line there might be a UK-US trade agreement, but it’s not going to happen any time soon because our focus is in negotiating with a big bloc, the European Union, to get a trade agreement done”.
He added: “The UK is going to be in the back of the queue.”
