UK Prime Minister Theresa May Says Brexit Could Bring ‘Difficult Times’

“I’ve committed to Theresa that we will consult closely with her as she and her government move forward on Brexit negotiations to make sure we don’t see adverse effects in our trading and commercial relationship”.

Theresa May has had a hard start to the G20 summit as President Barack Obama said the United Kingdom would not be the priority for a United States trade deal and Japan issued an unprecedented 15-page warning about the consequences of Brexit.

May’s televised comments were made before leaders of the world’s most industrialized nations gathered in Hangzhou at the G20 summit this weekend to discuss top issues, including the global economy.

But Obama did not back away from his assertion, first made as he campaigned against the exit, that Great Britain would have to wait its turn before the United States prioritized a new, separate trade deal with a newly independent Great Britain.

“Now I’m not going to pretend it will be plain sailing”.

“I want us to be a global leader in free trade, but we can’t ignore that as we look at the G20, which is about global economies and growth, we can’t ignore the fact that there is sentiment out there in a number of countries which is anti-globalisation”, she said.

“EU funds have been used to prop up and cover systemic issues with how we chose to fund research in the United Kingdom, both at a governmental and corporate level”, said Digital Science’s managing director Daniel Hook.

Finance Minister Philip Hammond said post-Brexit Britain would be an “outward-looking country” that would seek to attract companies to invest and grow.

Asked if she would specifically raise security concerns she said “I am going to be talking to President Xi about a whole range of issues”.

In a statement to cabinet, Mrs May reiterated the “Brexit means Brexit” slogan of the early days of her time in office.

In the BBC interview May repeated several times that she and her party “respect the wishes” of the British electorate.

Ms May was extremely busy at the summit as she tried to reassure world leaders about post-Brexit Britain.

“This is all more information that helps to inform our thinking on what is the right deal for Britain”.

But she warned that the future for the United Kingdom would not be “plain sailing”.

Theresa May will trigger Article 50 and begin the process of the UK’s exit from the European Union early next year, Whitehall sources have suggested.

The comments offer the first glimpse into May’s stance on the hardest conundrum thrown up by the referendum: how to tighten border controls with the European Union without losing access to its single market.

Mrs May said “people wanted to see. control” and she wanted to “respond to the voice of the British people”.

“We know in advance that we have quite a long period of uncertainty and I would call for that period to be as short as possible, and for the position of the British government to be as clear as possible, as soon as possible”, he told the BBC.

British officials now have neither the expertise nor the staff for the tortuous exit negotiations, which are likely to last at least three years and possibly much longer. Poland has launched an investigation into the murder, which authorities there believe could be a hate crime.

Mr Obama said he had never suggested that the U.S. would “punish” Britain for the vote.

“London is the most welcoming, multicultural, happening city on Earth – no disrespect to Warsaw – and there is no room for xenophobia”, Johnson said during a media appearance alongside his Polish counterpart Witold Waszczykowski.
