Kerry to visit Brussels & London to discuss Brexit vote

US Secretary of State John Kerry is due to meet European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini in Brussels and British Foreign Minister Philip Hammond in London on Monday, a senior State Department official told Reuters. He said Kerry would highlight the importance of other members not following in Britain's footsteps. US President Barack Obama urged Britain to remain in the EU when he visited London in April, warning that a trade agreement between Washington and London would not take place in the near future if Britain left the bloc, the Telegraph reported. EU and UK officials are currently trying to assess the political and economic consequences of Thursday's British referendum vote in favor of exiting the 28-nation bloc.
