BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Britain’s vote to leave the European Union will not impact a summit next month of the NATO military alliance, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on Monday, predicting “an even stronger NATO going forward”.
Britons voted in a referendum last Thursday to leave the
EU, stunning global financial markets and world leaders. U.S. President
Barack Obama and many other world leaders had urged Britain to remain
inside the 28-nation bloc.
“We have high expectations of a very strong NATO
meeting and important deliverables,” Kerry said of the summit planned
for Warsaw on July 8-9. “That will not change one iota as a consequence
of the vote that has taken place.”
Kerry, who is on a lightning tour of Brussels and London
intended to reassure U.S. allies following the British vote, noted that
22 EU nations, including Britain, are part of NATO.
