The UK has shocked the world with its historic Brexit vote, choosing to leave the EU despite forecasts that the country would opt to remain. From heads of state to US presidential nominee Donald Trump, reactions across the globe are pouring in.
The president of the European Council, Donald Tusk, said: “There’s no hiding the fact that we wanted a different outcome of yesterday’s referendum. I am fully aware of how serious – or even dramatic – this moment is politically…”

US President Barack Obama said he respects the decision of the British people and reassured them that the UK’s special relationship with the US will remain.

“The people of the United Kingdom have spoken, and we respect their decision,” the president said in a statement.

“The special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is enduring, and the United Kingdom’s membership in NATO remains a vital cornerstone of US foreign, security and economic policy,” he added.
