President Barack Obama stands by his comment that Britain would move to the back of the queue when it comes to trade deals with the United States if it left the European Union, the White House said on Friday.

"Obviously, the president stands by what he said and I don't have an update of our position," White House spokesman Eric Schultz told reporters at a briefing.

Obama urged Britain to remain in the EU when he visited London in April and warned that a trade agreement between the two countries would not happen anytime soon if Britain left the bloc.

Oh gosh I hope so! I would LOVE to see that. The Brits are great at dry comedy.

Yet one more reason to anticipate Obungler’s departure.

You could fit Obama’s knowledge of trade and economics into a thimble. Brexit should be a win/win from a trade perspective for both the US and UK.
Now with England casting itself adrift from the continent when it comes to trade this is actually the perfect opportunity to move the UK to the front of the queue with the US negotiating a bilateral trade deal with the globe’s fifth largest economy and undercut Germany who has a large trade surplus with England. Level the playing field and both parties would benefit.
