Brexit might be changing the course of British and European history but that hasn't stopped the Americans taking an interest — and having a say.
Americans could be forgiven for thinking Britain has gone a bit potty over Brexit — so CNBC asked members of the public in New York what they know and feel about the whole Brexit process. " has produced less economic incentives right now for people to work with the U.K. compared to the past when it was integrated into the EU."
Two years of talking about Brexit doesn't seemed to have brought Brexiteers and Remainers any closer to each other, however, although most lawmakers want a deal rather than a no-deal exit. As his own election victory in 2016 was seen as a result of populist, anti-establishment sentiment, Trump has appeared an ardent supporter of the concept of Brexit.
Showing their different perspectives on Brexit, Trump promised the U.K. a"great" trade deal after Brexit whereas his predecessor Barack Obama had warned that Brexit would put Britain"at the back of the queue" for trade talks. From the U.K.'s point of view, the U.S. is the country's biggest individual country trading partner but the 28-member union is the U.K.'s biggest trading partner as a bloc.
