The United States unexpectedly volunteered to save the global financial system. The US president promised to support financial stability after the UK’s decision to leave the EU.
"Given the vote of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, our economic teams [the US, Canada, and Mexico] are going to continue to work together so that we remain focused on keeping our economies growing and making sure that the global financial system is stable, something I'm confident that we can do," Mr. Obama said.
Barack Obama’s current term in the White House ends rather soon that is why he can make big promises with little intention of keeping them. However, to fulfill the financial stability plan, Mr. Obama needs help of his European colleagues.
“Despite some of the initial reactions, I am confident that the process can be managed in a prudent orderly way,” the US president said. “I expect that our friends on both sides of the Channel will develop a workable plan for how to move forward.”
Nevertheless, the US wants to maintain close cooperation with the UK.
Earlier, the US government publicly opposed Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union. During his April visit to London, Mr. Obama warned that in case the UK leaves the bloc, it would move to the back of the queue when it comes to trade deals.
