Kerry: the Unity of Europe Should Not Be Taken as Granted
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called on Britain to maintain the closest possible links with the European Union, Reuters reports.
Kerry's statement in Brussels comes amid the rise of anti-EU populist parties and Britain's vote to exit. Kerry noted that there could be no place for isolationist policies.
"We will not be shy about where our interests lie: We need the strongest possible EU, the strongest possible UK and a highly integrated, collaborative relationship between them," Kerry said in a speech.
"We should never take for granted the good achieved by the unity of Europe," he said, adding that "some people do so too quickly," recalling his youth as the son of a U.S. diplomat growing up in divided Berlin in the 1950s.
