Post Brexit UK-US trade deal could take up to a decade, Obama tells BBC

Britain voting to leave the European Union at a June 23 referendum could delay the planned deal, says Obama

LONDON: A trade deal between Britain and the United states could take five to 10 years to negotiate if Britain votes to leave the European Union at a June 23 referendum, US President Barack Obama told the BBC on Sunday.

"It could be five years from now, 10 years from now before we're actually able to get something done," Obama told the British broadcaster.
