“We agreed that our economic and financial teams will remain in close contact as we stay focused on ensuring economic growth and financial stability”, Obama continued.
Mr. Obama said that he had spoken to both Mr. Cameron and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, which will stand alone as the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the European Union once Britain leaves.

“You deserve the same chance to succeed as everybody else”, he said.
It emphasised that Nigerians submitted approximately 420 applications-the most from any country-for this year’s Global Entrepreneurship Summit.

“We are expecting a number of foreign governments to participate, and the manner in which the governments are participating is that they are making commitments in their own countries to support entrepreneurs, and then that brings them into the fold of the GES process”.
After meeting Obama at the White House early this month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced that India would host the next GES.
Obama is the first American president to visit India twice. “They are now leaving”, said Norwegian tech entrepreneur”, said Lars Kintel, a Norweigan tech entrepreneur. Some have become self-radicalized, including a man who killed 49 people and wounded 53 at a gay nightclub in Orlando earlier this month, and a married couple who killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California previous year.
