President Obama looks set to wade into the contentious debate in the United Kingdom over whether or not the nation should remain a member of the European Union and some Brits are angry at the presidents intrusion into a delicate UK issue ahead of a major vote.
Obama will arrive in London late Thursday for a three-day trip. On Friday he will meet Prime Minister David Cameron -- who is reportedly keen to get Obamas backing ahead of the June 23 referendum, in which Britons will choose to remain or leave the European Union.
Cameron is in a difficult position, backing the Remain campaign, while many within his own Conservative Party are campaigning for the Leave or Brexit (British-Exit) campaign. Polls have shows the race is tight, with the Remain campaign holding an edge as small as one percent.
The White House has said Obama is willing to offer his opinion and may announce that he favors Cameron's position that Britain should remain in the European Union.
"If he's asked his view as a friend, he will offer it," U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said. "As the president has said, we support a strong United Kingdom in the European Union."
Those calling for Britain to leave the European Union are not happy at that news, with U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage saying Obama should stay home.
A monstrous interference, Farage told Fox News Thursday. Id rather he stayed in Washington, frankly, if thats what hes going to do.
You wouldnt expect the British Prime Minister to intervene in your presidential election, you wouldnt expect the Prime Minister to endorse one candidate or another. Perhaps hes another one of those people who doesnt understand what [the EU] is, Farage said.
In March, a letter sent from Conservative MP and former cabinet minister Liam Fox, and co-signed by over 100 MPs from four different political parties, asked the U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. to persuade Obama not to intervene, calling any such intervention extremely controversial and potentially damaging.
