US President warned that Britain could be placed to the back of the trade queue, if it votes to leave the European Union in it’s in out referendum.
Speaking at the start of a three day visit to the UK, he said,
“Let me be clear: ultimately this is something the British voters have to decide for themselves.”
"As part of our special relationship, part of being friends is to be honest and to let you know what I think, and speaking honestly, the outcome of that decision is a matter of deep interest to the US, because it affects our prosperity as well."
“The UK is at its best when it's helping to lead a strong European Union. It leverages UK power to be part of the EU. I don't think the EU moderates British influence in the world, it magnifies it. America wants Britain's influence to grow, including within Europe."
