Britain could have to wait a decade for a free trade deal with the United States if it votes to leave the European Union, U.S. President Barack Obama said on Sunday in his final salvo of a disputed foray into British domestic politics.
Obama has spent the last three days in London urging Britons to stay in the EU as the British public prepares to vote on whether to remain a member of the bloc on June 23. He played on the two countries' close historic ties to warn that from a U.S. perspective, leaving the EU would be a mistake.
"It could be five years from now, 10 years from now before we're actually able to get something done," Obama told the BBC when asked about the prospect of a post-Brexit trade deal.
That added to his warning on Friday that Britain would find itself at "the back of the queue" for a new trade deal with the United States if it departed the EU.

They should remember, Help is but 9 months away.
...and your presidency could last 270 days.
Sounds like a threat.
He’s a douche, the bag, and the nozzle.
Obama’s way. Thugatician.
If that happens they have my permission to burn Washington DC again, like in 1812.
His fangs will soon be fully bared! Reject and abjure his threats, his minions and all their works..
Is there any prominent Republican who will stand up and tell the Brits that Obama is an incompetent thug but he will be gone soon, and we will be happy to resume the special relationship as soon as the WH has been fumigated.
I think, actually, he's what the douche is for getting rid of.
Obola would say *anything* but his prayers.It takes months,if not *weeks*,to negotiate trade deals with Canada.There’s absolutely *no* reason why a deal with Britain would take much longer.
10 years if 0 was still the President
Lol!
the Iranians get nukes and $150 billion. the brits get a lecture from a pompous windbag and then get threatened.
being our friend sucks with these freaks in the white house
hmmmmm. maybe trump should announce that he will put them at the front of the line if the leave the EU. they would definitely regret all the talk about banning him from the country.
nope. Obama, again, is wrong.
Gee, in that case they might turn to Russia and China for economic friendship.
Great job, Mr. President.
don’t worry anyone - Donald, the master treaty maker will come to the rescue on his white horse and save the day. Hi Hoe Casino!!!
“I think, actually, he’s what the douche is for getting rid of. “
On the evening of January 16, 2017, the White Hut is going to be given a dose of Movi-Prep the size of which no Proctologist has ever seen. The next day, this “newly cleansed public housing” will be taken over by a Billionaire for the first time when he takes posession after a deadbeat black family has been thrown out.
If Trump is elected it won’t happen even in a decade.
Our petulant little boy king threatening to take his ball and go home if everybody doesn’t let him win.
