Now Obama tells Britain it should be like Norway
- Obama says ‘hysteria’ over Britain’s leaving the European Union is unwarranted. ‘The average person is not going to notice a big change’
- Norway is not in the EU, and yet it is one of America’s closest allies, the U.S. president said
- Obama came up on the losing side of the battle after he aligned himself with Britain’s prime minister, David Cameron
- Donald Trump hopes to ride the same populist wave to victory in the US
- Both movements ‘tap into a fear that people may have about losing control, to offer some sort of vague nostalgic feelings,’ Obama said
- ‘And the subtext for that is…a bunch of foreigners and funny-looking people are coming in here and changing the basic character of the nation’
