US President Barack Obama has said the UK vote to leave the EU raises “longer-term concerns about global growth”.He said Brexit would “freeze the possibilities of investment in Great Britain or in Europe as a whole”.
He appealed to the UK prime minister and other EU leaders to ensure an orderly process for the British exit.Earlier EU leaders warned that the UK must honour the principle of free movement of people if it wants to retain access to the single market.
The leaders of the other 27 EU countries were meeting in Brussels without the UK for the first time in more than 40 years.
