WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The Brexit decision caused economic turbulence in Britain's economy, the drop of the UK stock indices and devaluation of the pound sterling, which all together sent global financial markets into frenzy.
“These are decisions most and foremost for the United Kingdom and the EU to make working together, but because both the United Kingdom and the EU as an institution, and the countries that make it up look to us, engage with us, work with us every single day, we will play a role, I think, in helping them to navigate this transition,” Blinken stated.
“This is not the outcome that we would have preferred. It’s obviously caused a moment of deep concern and deep questioning about the implications, not just in the United Kingdom, not just in Europe but around the world,” Blinken added. “But we believe that this can be managed deliberately, carefully, smartly so that everyone lands on solid ground.”
