LONDON/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said he wants Britain to stay in the European Union and help maintain the post-war transatlantic partnership, prompting angry responses from Eurosceptic lawmakers in London.
"Having the United Kingdom in the European Union gives us much greater confidence about the strength of the transatlantic union," Obama said in an interview with the BBC. He said Britain being inside the EU had helped make the world a safer and more prosperous place since World War Two.
