US President Barack Obama today issued a stark warning to British voters considering leaving the European Union, warning a Brexit would lessen the country's power and hurt job-creating trade ties.
Obama said "Britain is at its best when helping to lead a strong Europe", while warning the UK on its own would move to the "back of queue" for trans-Atlantic trade deals if it votes to leave the EU in a referendum in June.
