President Barack Obama flew out of Britain Sunday after warning that it could take a decade for the U.K. to negotiate a new trade agreement with the United States if it leaves the European Union.<br />Obama said “it could be five years from now, 10 years from now before we were able to actually get something done.”<br />The U.S. and the 28-nation European bloc of which Britain is a member are attempting to seal a trade deal, the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.<br />Obama said that “the U.K. would not be able to negotiate something with the United States faster than the EU.”<br />“Our preference would be to work with this large block of countries,” he added.
