发帖数: 6571 | 1 Obama's threatening remarks against Britain over Brexit seemed to have
ignited a tempest.
Upon leaving the EU, Obama said, Britain should not expect a new trade deal
with the U.S., that it would be "in the back of the queue."
In a subsequent interview with the BBC, Obama suggested that a new trade
deal with America's closest ally "could be five years from now, 10 years
from now before we were able to actually get something done."
Obama's use of the Briticism "queue" for the word "line" triggered
widespread speculation that the President's comments had, in fact, been
written for him at 10 Downing Street.
Former London Mayor Boris Johnson, a staunch opponent of remaining in the EU
and allowing unbridled immigration, blasted Obama's remarks as "paradoxical
, inconsistent, and incoherent."
A Daily Mail editorial was equally brutal of Obama's anti-Brexit
interference, saying Obama had shown "contempt for voters."
"The tone was patronizing, the language menacing – and the message not only
hypocritical but, frankly, insulting," it added. "… He has no business to
come here and preach that submission to Brussels is good for the people of
the U.K."
Polls suggested British voters concurred. All four polls taken in the
aftermath of Obama’s remarks, made by a president widely perceived as an
avatar of globalism, showed a shift in favor of leaving the EU by between 1
and 4 percentage points – almost as soon as Air Force One departed British
airspace.
