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.

Interesting choice of words. Back of the queue. Sort of like, back of the bus. Obama is racist against his half white half. Just 7 more months. Maybe we can make it still.
Lol! But Dolly Madison Michelle won’t be saving no portraits of dead white guys
It sounds like Obama is not planning on handing over the presidency any time soon.....
That's why they're putting a black woman on the new currency.
Britain could turn the Commonwealth of Nations into a trade bloc with much less effort. It has been prevented from even trying, due to its membership in the EU. If the USA wants any trade deals at all, a deal with the Anglosphere should top the list. Of course, an anti-British Kenyan would see things differently.
Hint to the British public ... you don’t have to and shouldn’t pay any attention to anything this clown says. He may look like a black swan but he’s really just a lame duck.
He sure hates Britain.
The more Britain is in the EU, the less it is a country.
I hate globalists.
I think Iran is up to $300 billion now.
It can’t end soon enough! I hope the Brits realize that he’ll be gone soon and that this is an empty threat...
“Free Trade” deals suck so I am ok with this.
meanwhile, the trade will continue
one does not consult the coyote about how to catch a roadrunner
A decade? With “fast track” authority?
Come on!
