US warns Britain: If you leave EU you face barriers to trading with America

US Trade representative Michael Froman said on the 28 October 2015 that the United States would not be keen to pursue a separate free trade deal with the United Kingdom Britain if it left the European Union.

Mr Froman told Reuters that 'I think it’s absolutely clear that Britain has a greater voice at the trade table being part of the EU, being part of a larger economic entity'.
