Donald Trump told Britons on Sunday he supported Brexit,
repeating just days before the vote on June 23 that he thinks the UK
would be better off outside the European Union.
As the campaign to decide Britain's EU membership restarted after a three-day hiatus following the killing of lawmaker Jo Cox, Trump, the presumptive Republican U.S. presidential candidate, said in a newspaper interview he was backing an "out" vote.
"I would personally be more inclined to leave, for a lot of reasons
like having a lot less bureaucracy," he told reporters. "But I am
not a British citizen. This is just my opinion."
The billionaire businessman also told news reporters that he would seek to have good relationships internationally if he were elected president in November, including with David Cameron. The British Prime Minister has in the past called Trump's proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States "divisive, stupid and wrong".
Trump said in May that Britain would be better off outside the EU because of high levels of migration.
