Could Britain leave the EU? This June, the UK is holding a nationwide referendum vote on whether to stay in or leave the EU. This short video explains the key issues involved.

The UK and US have what is called the "special relationship" in international relations: we have each others' back. If the UK pulls out of the EU, the US will no longer have that link to EU decision-making through the UK.
