WASHINGTON DC, - President of the United States (US), Barack Obama said that the outcome of the British referendum on leaving the European Union (EU) raises 'concerns about the long-term global growth'.
Obama said Britain Exit (Brexit) will 'freeze investment opportunities in the United Kingdom' or in Europe as a whole.

Obama added, "I think there are some serious concerns about the long-term global growth if Brexit underway and it will freeze investment opportunities in the United Kingdom or in Europe as a whole."
"At the level of global growth has been weak, it does not help," the president said.
Take a breath
Obama said his main message to the British and German is, "All parties should take a breath."
"I think that it would be a difficult process, challenging, but it does not have to be a process that panic," he added.

Merkel is one of the many EU leaders stressed again that freedom of movement for EU citizens is an important part of the market Tungga.
There will be no negotiations with the British until the bloc formally filed an intention to exit from the EU.
"Access to the single market requires the acceptance of all four freedoms," he said.
