So the UK has declared itself to be a sovereign nation again, in control of its own borders and foreign policy, and one-worlders (one-Europers?) round the globe are wetting themselves.
Ignore the markets for now - days to day swings mean nothing and the long term effects are far from clear.
Some US officials are saying that it will be hard to continue with our "special relationship" with the UK - why?
We were friends, allies, and trading partners with the UK long before the EU existed nothing about the so-called BREXIT vote is a threat to the US or its relationship with the UK.
Also the UK isn't leaving NATO so we still have a strong standing formal defense relationship.
Some trade agreements will have to be reworked but, I presume, in many cases the terms could simply remain in force until some formal replacements is drawn up.

Seems like a lot of huffing and puffing over not very much.

or it could end up being a very stupid move for the UK. No one knows.

Exiting the EU does not guarantee them more power when it comes to trade. Time will tell

They could give a shyt about the trade, they wanted their sovereignty. Don't blame them. This board would be beside themselves if their lives were impacted by a bureaucracy composed of Canadian and Mexican politicians whom were appointed.
