The Latest: Obama: UK Decision to Leave EU Will 'Stick'
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON — Jul 9, 2016, 1:59 PM ET
The Latest on Britain's vote to leave the European Union (all times local):
7:00 p.m.
President Barack Obama says the United Kingdom and the European Union must make sure that Britain's exit from the 28-nation bloc is as sensible and orderly as possible.
He says he has to assume that Britain's decision "is going to stick," but how the process unfolds is up to both sides, and it's important that neither one harden its position in a way that damages economies at home or worldwide.
The U.S., he said, will continue to be close friends and commercial partners with both. He said: "In good times and in bad, Europe can count on the United States — always."
Obama said he would not call himself a big booster of globalization, adding it carries a danger of increased inequality in which workers may have less leverage. But, he said, it's here to stay.
