EU referendum: Presidential candidate Donald Trump says the UK would be “better off without” the EU
Donald Trump has taken a break from the US presidential election to offer up his opinion that the UK would be "better off without" the EU.
Backing Brexit, Trump said that the migration crisis had been a "horrible thing for Europe" (remember he wants to build a wall with Mexico), and he said the EU was to blame.
But the Republican presidential hopeful stopped short of making any "recommendation", instead telling Fox News his "feeling" was that the UK should back Brexit.

"I'm not making that as a recommendation, just my feeling. I know Great Britain very well, I know the country very well, I have a lot of investments there," Trump said.
"I want them to make their own decision," he added.
Back in March Trump said he believes the UK could vote to leave the EU as the UK was experiencing "a lot of problems".
"I don't want to make a comment about the UK leaving but I think they may leave based on – I'm there a lot, I have a lot of investments in the UK and I will tell you that I think they may leave based on everything I'm hearing," he said in March, once again mentioning his investments.

The announcement from Trump comes after President Barack Obama and Democrat presidential hopeful both publicly supported Remain.
Over in the US, Trump this week became the presumptive Republican nominee after his last two rivals – Ted Cruz and John Kasich – both dropped out after losing the Indiana primary to Trump.
