Never one to shy away from headlines, presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has weighed into the Brexit debate, stating, “If I were from Britain, I would probably not want [the EU].”
Trump made his remarks while speaking to presenter Piers Morgan for the UK’s Good Morning Britain TV show adding that, if he were to become president in the November elections, a U.K. outside of Europe would not be put to the “back of the queue” as President Barack Obama had threatened a few weeks back.
“I am going to treat everybody fairly but it wouldn’t make any difference to me whether they were in the EU or not,” Trump said. “You would certainly not be back of the queue, that I can tell you.”
