At the G20, Obama seemed determined to offend everyone, including his least favorite nation, Great Britain.
Obama  repeated his threat that Britain, having voted to leave the EU, would go to the back of the line when it comes to trade agreements with the U.S. But Brexit leaders werenâ€t buying it.
[A]t the G20 conference in China [Obama] appeared with the new Prime Minister Theresa May. There in China, Obama openly said that the 17 million who backed Brexit were wrong.
But Iain Duncan Smith, the former Conservative leader, said of Mr Obamaâ€s comments: “Who cares what he says? Heâ€s going. Bye bye.â€
He told The Sun: “All the congressmen and senators Iâ€ve spoken to have all said ‘When youâ€re ready to do a trade deal, weâ€ll step up to the plateâ€. Weâ€re both free traders, it will take one or two years.
“The only trade deal the US has in train at the moment is TTIP, and everyone is saying that is dead. Congress wonâ€t ratify it as they would have to make too many compromises to please the EU.
“Itâ€s [Obamaâ€s] vanity project. The truth is, no one really cares what he says.â€
