Stanford University, June 24, ---- U.S. President Barack Obama said Friday at Stanford University that UK's exit from the European Union would not change the "special relationship" that exists between the two nations.

Speaking at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit at Stanford University, Obama said he had spoken with Prime Minister David Cameron about working together to ensure economic growth and financial stability.

Obama said that " And based on our conversation, I'm confident that the UK is committed to an orderly transition out of the EU. We agreed that our economic and financial teams will remain in close contact as we stay focused on ensuring economic growth and financial stability. "

He also talked to Chancellor Merkel of Germany, and they agreed that "the United States and European allies will work closely together in the weeks and months ahead."

He told that " I do think that yesterday's vote speaks to the ongoing changes and challenges that are raised by globalization. But while the UK’s relationship with the EU will change, one thing that will not change is the special relationship that exists between our two nations. That will endure. The EU will remain one of our indispensable partners."

The historic Brexit vote shock the world with fluctuating financial markets, which caused the global stock markets losing about $2 trillion in value on Friday, according to the report of Reuters.
