Washington (CNN)Britain’s vote to leave the European Union Friday left the United States confronting a threat to the strength and cohesion of both its closest historical ally and a 70-year transatlantic partnership that has been the bedrock of Western peace and prosperity.
The outcome of Britain’s referendum instantly pitched an already weakened Europe into a new crisis, opening the possibility that other member states could choose to leave the E.U. and create new headaches for Washington.
American leaders on all sides of the political aisle Friday expressed respect for the decision of British voters and vowed to stand with America’s “special relationship” ally Britain and the diminished European Union once both partners have finalized their divorce — a period that could take years.
But there was no hiding the concern behind the scenes as the shockwaves rippled through the EU, a body that has been vital to American foreign policy initiatives in recent times, including the drive to a nuclear deal with Iran and attempts to punish Russia for its incursion in Ukraine.

Most of us are freaked out because the WORLD financial markets took a dive on Friday. Tomorrow mat be more of the same.
The people in Britan are already suffering because of the vote.
And Trump’s golf resort is awesome- according to Trump.
Ha Ha Ha…
The title of this article should have been:
“Why CNN and Hillary are Freaked Out About Brexit”
The financial hits will keep coming.
Trump, (who doesn’t pay attention to polls, except he always talks ablout polls) is losing in the most recent polla. The gap is widening.
He thought that his awesomeness would make him a winner.
I would not care about Brexit if it did not have such a profound impact on my investments.
Undereducated Brits should only be allowed to ruin their own economy
1) The markets are having a summer sale due to BREXIT. Time to buy
2) Since when leaving a large central government having a profound say over a sovereign ever a good thing? (Since July 4th is next week, remember that there were colonists who thought the Declaration of Independence was a mistake.)
