Trump’s campaign has renewed his support for the United Kingdom leaving the European Union,
stating “America is here because of its own little Brexit”.
Spokeswoman Katrina Pierson, a longtime Trump aide, did not specify whether she was referring to the American revolution or whether she saw a modern parallel between the US political situation and the European Union, where the issue of immigration has become a political lightning rod.
In an interview with Sky News,Pierson noted that the presumptive Republican nominee is “very much in favor of countries doing what is best for them” and thought that in the current global situation, “countries do need to re-evaluate their own standings and what is best for them”.
He is one of the few international figures to come out in support of the United Kingdom leaving the European Union. In a May interview with Fox News, Trump explicitly linked continued British membership to concerns about “migration”. He said: “I think the migration has been a horrible thing for Europe. A lot of that was pushed by the EU.” Trump added: “I would say that they’re better off without it, personally, but I’m not making that as a recommendation. Just my feeling.”
