Obama tries to limit fallout from British EU exit vote

By Roberta Rampton PALO ALTO, Calif. (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday tried to limit the fallout from Britain's vote to leave the European Union, which threatens to harm the U.S. economic recovery, derail his trade agenda and distract U.S. allies from global security issues. Obama said he was sure Britain's exit from the EU would be orderly and vowed that Washington would maintain both its "special relationship" with London and close ties to Brussels.
