Obama says 'special relationship' will survive U.K. Brexit vote
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The "special relationship" between the U.S. and the U.K. "will not change" as a result of the Brexit vote, President Barack Obama said Friday. In brief remarks at the start of a speech at Stanford University, Obama said he has spoken to outgoing British Prime Minister David Cameron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the wake of the decision by U.K. voters to leave the European Union. The leaders agreed to work closely together in weeks ahead to make sure Britain's transition out of the EU would be smooth. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization will remain a "cornerstone" of global security, Obama said.
